I have a image-map texture I want to apply to a box{<0,0,0>,<1,1,1>} which
is then scaled in X direction by 2000.  When I do that, the image-map is
strecthed as well, instead, I want the image-map to repeat along the X.  How
do I do that?  Do I need to scale it by 1/2000?

Try doing something like this instead:

box
{
  <0,0,0>, <2000,1,1>
  pigment
  {
    image_map
    {
      gif "my_map.gif"
      interpolate 2
    }
  }
  transform { Any_Further_Transformations }
}

Place the scale statement *before* the texture, and only the object will 
be scaled.
Instead of this:
box {...
    texture {...}
    scale < 2000, 1, 1>
}
use this:
box {...
    scale < 2000, 1, 1>
    texture {...}
}

You could also create the box at the desired size and not bother with 
scale at all, but this method is easier if you also want to use rotate, 
matrix, or transform.
