You can load an element from a file with:

    {"Load element data to paste-buffer" PasteBuffer(Clear) Load(ElementTobuffer)}

The with-file version is LoadFrom instead of Load:

    LoadFrom(ElementToBuffer,myfootprint.fp)

To load a footprint from the library, you can use LoadFootprint:

    LoadFootprint(filename[,refdes,value])
