I guess you're trying to scale the image to 20 x 70 pixels? All you
really need to understand is that SCALE is a gifbuilder object like
TEXT etc--it works exactly the same way as all the other items in that
section of GIFBUILDER. So from your sample above, remove the line
'1=SCALE {' , the corresponding '}' and '1.value = height=20,70'.

Then, add something like this:

page.2.1.50 = SCALE
page.2.1.50 {
    width = 70
    height = 20
}


Note that like GIFBUILDER's XY property, scale has 'calc', so that if
you want to, you should be able to explicitly connect the size after
scaling to the original size:

## Set the initial size of the GIFBUILDER object:
XY = [20.w] +20,22
...
...
...
## Set the final size to half the original size:
50 = SCALE
50 {
    width = [20.w]/2+10
    height = 11
}
