You don't need to say that you are programming, we will assume that you are programming.
Have you gotten to grips with the help files yet? Try opening up help, click on INDEX and that will bring up a long list of all the commands. Search the page (usually CTRL+f) for the commands thecomet mentioned to find out more about them.
Although placing media files in the same directory as your program is the easiest way to access them, it's not the only way. You can specify absolute paths (starting at the root of your file system), eg:
"C:/Program Files (x86)/The Game Creators/Dark Basic Pro Free/Dark Basic Pro/Media/Bitmaps/foliage.bmp"
or relative paths (starting from the location of the current directory), eg:
"../../Media/Bitmaps/foliage.bmp"
or if the media is in the current directory you just need the name:
"foliage.bmp"
The current directory is set to the folder the program is located in, by default, but you can change this with the SET DIR command; this is a useful command if you have lots of media to load from a sub-directory or from outside your project folder.
