comma

In my .vimrc, I defined this line:

  map   ,ps   <Esc>:!ps<Space>-a<CR>

The mapping is set (which I controlled via :verbose map ,ps while inside vim). There is nothing else mapped to the comma.

However, if I type the command in command mode, nothing is displayed in the status bar, the comma is ignored, the p movement and the s insert are triggered. (I.e., VIM reacts, as if there was no command ,ps.)

Is there any magic that I have overlooked in enabling comma-started mapped commands?
