If you want the image to tile, use _screen.picture = [fox.bmp]. If you want it centered use:

_SCREEN.ADDOBJECT([Image1],[oImage])
_SCREEN.Image1.LEFT = (_SCREEN.WIDTH/2)-(_SCREEN.Image1.WIDTH/2)
_SCREEN.Image1.TOP = (_SCREEN.HEIGHT/2)-(_SCREEN.Image1.HEIGHT/2)
_SCREEN.Image1.VISIBLE = .T.

DEFINE CLASS oImage AS IMAGE
	PICTURE = [fox.bmp]
ENDDEFINE
