When DBPro starts up you have one bitmap automatically (bitmap 0), which is used for everything you display on-screen. You can also create other bitmaps for other purposes, but you don't see these. Think of them as images that you can draw to.

This will load your bitmap to a new bitmap number 1.
LOAD BITMAP "Filename.bmp",1

If you don't specify the bitmap number, it will attempt to load the bitmap to your main display bitmap ... if it will fit properly, and the screen depth is correct.

If your working with single images its easier to use "load image" because you won't have to worry about grabbing the image for sprites or having to use "set current bitmap 0" to change the working screen (when you want to go to the only bitmap users can see).

"Load bitmap" is useful when you need to grab multiple images from a single image or when you need to modify the image before the user sees it.

Upgrading makes us all a bit jumpy.
