Yes, and "in" is probably a mistake in that sentence (unlike the other example). "Load System Exclusive data from File" is what's really intended. > What does the phrase "in File" mean? I guess the phrase [in "Load from > Device in File"] means "write to a file." No. > As above, The word "in" can be understand as "from" or as "to". No, it could not mean "to". That would be a plain mistake, where "into" would be what was intended, as you originally suggested. That's not what's happening here. In this context "in" is the right word, it's just that the arrangement it's referring to is not completely straightforward. We're importing part of a device description which is currently residing in a file, so there is no movement implicit in the preposition -- no "into" or "out of", just "in".
