Load a Scala File From Command Line

I'm fairly new to Scala and I'm having troubles running a .scala file from command line. I've tried the following commands

1.\PathToDirContaingingCode> scala myCode.scala

2.\PathToDirContaingingCode> scala
   scala> :load myCode.scala

3.\PathToDirContaingingCode> scala
   scala> :load \PathToDirContaingingCode\myCode.scala
