Loads and runs a JavaScript file into the current shell environment.

The load() method has the following parameter:

Parameter	Type	Description
`filename`	string	Specifies the path of a JavaScript file to execute.

Specify filenames with relative or absolute paths. When using relative path names, confirm the current directory using the pwd() method.
