Loading a Basic program from the specified drive

[parakeet]

Hi, I'm new to BBC Micro computers and I would like to know if there's a way to load a Basic program from drive 1 aside from typing the "*DRIVE 1" command. With a command like "LOAD "FILENAME",1" or something like that. Or do we only have access to the "*DRIVE 1" command to do so?

LOAD":1.FILENAME"

As in here:


The directory <dir> is a single character and can be omitted.
