Yes, the LOAD command works with any *text-based* customization file
that has an identifier in the form ;XX; at the top. That means ANY
customization file *except* the SGT file, which is binary, not text-
based, and therefore does not support an internal ";SG;" label; it
must be loaded with the LDSGT command. So, to answer Flash's first
question:

Any "settings" file will require the ;PR; identifier at the top. To
load it, use the LOAD command (or, if you insist, LDPRN).

As for his other question:

> Is there any preferred sequence as far as loading *.PRN or
> *.KBD?

I don't think so.
