Can I alter the frame rate of an animated GIF by script?

[Kevin]

I have already written several "TASKS" to control the frame rate of the gif.  However, if I have a significant number of animated gifs writing a function/handler for each it a bit cumbersome.  Especially wher the gif fspec already has it.
