[OS X TeX] Mac OS X Question

[Louis S VanSlyck]

I googled  "graphics plain tex", but the explanation is too anemic for 
me. I thought the syntax would be like:

\input color

{\color{red} This prints red.}    % This works fine.

which suggests (to me) that one should write:

\input picture

{\picture{Logo.pdf}}

to place the graphic named "Logo.pdf".    % But that fails.
