APC can execute commands via the MSK command line parser. It's
a big deal to accomplish that.
REM QUERY cannot. It can find the contents of a table entry,
such as the \%b item above, but it cannot execute the command parser.
Functions \fblah() are recognized only by the command parser.

Nope. See above on the command parser (a very big deal actually).
Have you considered a DIR filespec command?
