No problem:  you can use 'loadBitmapFromFile' to get the handle then
use 'getSize' or 'getExtent' to get the dimensions (I assume that's what
you mean by "size").

Example:

atom bmp
sequence bmp_size, bmp_extent

bmp = loadBitmapFromFile( "mybitmap.bmp" )

bmp_size = getSize( bmp )   -- returns {0,0,width,height}
bmp_extent = get_extent( bmp ) -- returns {width,height}

You could use a bitmap control, put your bitmap into it, then move the
control.  Or you could 'copyBlt' your bitmap wherever you'd like...
