bbs.exec() can be used to run all kinds of modules:
* 16-bit DOS applications
* 32-bit native applications
* Baja modules
* JavaScript modules

'?' is used to indicate that the module being executed is a JavaScript module.
'*' is used to indicate that the module being executed is a Baja (.bin) module.

load() can only be used to execute other JavaScript modules, so no '?' is
needed.
