Click the down button and you will bring up a drop menu with different rendering sizes you can use. Click the one you want. ( Note you can choose between "no AA" and "AA 0.3". This selects the amount of antialiasing the scene renders with. Antialiasing renders slower but gives a smoother looking render.

As far as textures go, in the screenshot I see four textures declared (t0,t1,t2, and t3)

You can alter the textures by changing these declarations.

The lines that read

set the parameters for one of the textures, both the color (red 0.1, green 0.4, blue 0.9) and the finish ( how much and type of high-lighting you get, how much ambient lighting and diffuse light comtribute.)

You can also add "normal" which will determine the "bumpiness" of the texture.
Thank you so much! You're amazing.
I'll try these out, and I may come back with more questions!

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
