The screen is bitmap 0.
If you load the bitmap to bitmap 0 then it will appear on the screen.

If you load the bitmap to bitmap 'x' then it will not appear. By using the command "Copy Bitmap x,0" you can move the bitmap to the screen.

However, if you just want a pop-up style image on the screen when you press a button it would be best to use the sprite commands (i.e. load image, paste image, sprite etc.)

* Bear in mind though that if you are clearing the screen with every game loop then you can paste the bitmap to the screen by pressing the key but it will be cleared as soon as you release the key.

Good luck with your project
