How do I insert an image into the background of Blender 2.49 to use as a referance?

And How do I use a texture?

Go to View / Background Image. A floating panel will appear. Load your image and then the controls allow you to set transparanecy and offset the image in the 3d view.

Does it work for 2.49?
