Multiple point symbols

[Bob Basques]

this is going to sound wierd, but I want make a grid pattern of of 
regularly space grid points.

I have points at equal distances that I want to make appear that they 
are a girdded filled poly area.

Does that make any sense?   something like a checkerboard pattern but at 
a pixel level to imitate a transparency.

I was just trying to pur two points into a symbol like so:

---------------------------
|            |            |
|            |      O     |
|            |            |
|------------|------------|
|            |            |
|      O     |            |
|            |            |
---------------------------

Just two points, The symbol would be 2 pixels by two pixels, or some 
mutiple of this.  Then if I place two of these point side by side they 
would look like a filled patern (a polygon fill) but still be plotted as 
points.

points 0 0 END
points 1 1 END

But this doesn't work for a POINT Symbol.  It break when there are two 
POINT vaules for a POINT symbol type.
