Putting a GIF file into a Notes database

I have notice the following code when I view the source of Lotus.net.
IMG SRC="/files.nsf/lookup/search2/$file/search2.gif"
My question is how does one put a GIF file into a notes database so that the gif file can be accessed as an Image Source?  I have tried pasting a gif file into a webpage and using that as the image source, but that does not seem to work.

How does one get the gif file into the Rich text field
I think the best suggestion is to create a form with 2 fields, one normal, that stores a reasonable name for the file, the other an RTF. u must create a new doc, then u can use drag and drop to attach the file from; ie windows explorer. Or u can click a button with this formula:
@Command([EditGotoField] ; fieldName );
@Command( [EditInsertFileAttachment] )
This will display the dialog box for selecting a file.
