Resizing linked prims while attached via script

Ok, I don't know if this is possible or has been done before, but I would like to try and figure out a script for resizing a linked object while attached via a script. (ie. typing in a number in channel 1, that causes the script to pull a set of values for the size of each prim in the object linked with that number, and then resize all the prims on the fly.)

I'm truly horrible at scripting so any help for me trying to write this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There is something which is almost exactly what you want on the wiki.
