OK... I want to make a checkered plane, of the standard variety, but flat
colors seem a little boring at this point. What I really want to do is use
to textures instead of colors.

here is the syntax I tried this with:
plane { <0,1,0> 0 pigment {checker {texture T_Stone25 texture T_Stone26}}
finish {ambient .10}}

Obviously, that's not right. But I don't know if there IS a right way to do
this, or if I'm simply up a particular creek without one of those wooden
things you use to push yerself through the water.

Nope. Wait. I don't feel quite so dumb as I thought. I get a parse error
when I try that. "No matching } found in 'texture', { found instead"

the cursor is left just after checker' if that helps.

  Perhaps reading the documentation once in a while could help?

  The syntax for the checker pattern does not use {}.
