Which Tutorial did you look at?  Can we see your code that you attempted?  Both of these would make helping you a little easier...:D.

Either way, here's an explanation:
- to insert a .bmp, you'll have to create an image stream through which Turing will access said file.
- this will be done using an integral variable, in a similar fashion to that of opening files.
- you will then be able to specify a position and drawing style to draw the actual pic.

If you would like to see the syntax, press F10 and look for the Pic.() module.

put the image in the same folder as the source code, then you wont need the full file path.. only the image name
