Thanks Mugur,
I'll try something like this, and will keep you posted. I've also added your response to Campsite's DocMint documentation for 3.5.3. The DocMint site is quite nice, by the way, and other Campsite users would be well advised to check it out.

Yes, this is an old example but it's not the only way and maybe not the best
way.

<!** list article onfrontpage is on>
<!** if image 100>
<img src="/cgi-bin/get_img?<!** urlparameters>">
<!** endif>
<!** endlist>
Now, you'll have to come up with a convention like: "all images that are to be
displayed on the front page will have the number 100".
The image number is like a label, it's just that you can't name them with words
but you have to use numbers. Think of it this way: number 1 is for displaying
together with article short intro on the front page, number 10 is thumbnail for
headlines (when you display a list of article headlines in a RSS feed), 20 and
up are for use in article body fields.
