The minimal useful call to the texture map shader would be:

	Surface "texmap" "texname" "brick.tx"

Notice that you need the extension on the brick file and that the
extension is tx. RenderMan will complain that it doesn't know the token
"texname" if you do this, so you should declare it:
	Declare "texname" "string"
prior to the call to Surface.

You can compile your own shaders with the "shader" program in
/usr/prman. Doing 'man shader' should tell you all you need to use it.
