Importing a texture in maya 09.?

I'm wondering how I can import a texture in maya and use it on a surface? Like importing a jpeg of grass.

Ok Iv only just started a full time course in maya but Im pretty sure this is how you do it. (If i get the a menu name wrong just go to the closest thing to it)


Go in to 'window' then select 'render' then 'hypershade' the hypershade window will then appear (preferrably tear off the window so you can movie it around). Scroll down the side menu of the hypershade window and select 'file'. Two boxes will appear in the black area of the hypershade window. Selecr the box on the right. Then press Ctrl + a and the atribute editor will appear. In the atribute editor there is a little file button (looks like a folder) you will see next to a text box that will contain the file name. Click on the file button pick your file. Then back in hypershade middle-mouse drag the second box (it should have your file on it) onto your object. If it does not show up, go into the menu in the corner of the actual window your object is in and select renderers and then tick 'high quality render'. Then press '6' on your keyboard and it should work
