For Blender 2.49b, you have to have a saved external image. Then go to view-background image, and a file browser will open so you can load it.

Here is a screenshot of what it looks like.

As I have never used it, I don’t know, but you may need to be careful to load it into the correct view.

Sometimes it’s worthwhile to import images as planes too. In 2.5, enable the addon in the user preferences then go to the file menu and choose import images as planes.
