Ok, here's how.  The following increases the size of the schematic GIF by a
factor of 1.5 every time it (the image) is clicked.  It decreases the size
by a factor of 1.5 whenever the image is double-clicked.

<img id="MyImage" src="Schematic.gif" alt="My Schematic" WIDTH="40"
HEIGHT="40">

<script language=VBScript>

  Sub MyImage_onclick()
     MyImage.Width = MyImage.Width * 1.5
     MyImage.Height = MyImage.Height * 1.5
  End Sub

  Sub MyImage_dblclick()
     MyImage.Width = MyImage.Width */1.5
     MyImage.Height = MyImage.Height / 1.5
  End Sub

</script>
