hello all this is my first post here so pardon me if i make any mistakes

i need some help with making graphics in qbasic.

my question is how do i get an image off a website and put it into a qbasic game i am making?
for example
http://www.ingyenjatek.hu/pic/bg_lil.jpg
little characters like those. i can put them into paint and cut them down to just 1 character now they problem is how do i upload it to my qbasic program. please be specific. i have read the tuturials but im not really understanding. thanx for ur time

edit-i do not want to use the draw command.
does it have to do with bload or the get command?
You'll need a special routine to load bmp (or jpg, gif, tiff, png.... etc) files into QBASIC. There are some on this page: http://www.philipz.com/qb/source.htm
how do i turn a picture in paint into data statements?
another queestion, how do i hide a screen until its finish loading then show it.
