UV texture does not show in the render

Support Materials and Textures

I have applied a UV texture to a cube.
The texture is shown in the 3d view port (Textured Solid).

What must I do in order to let it appear in the render as well?

Assign the texture to the cubes material, set to influence colour and with the mapping set to UV

That did the trick!
Thank you very much Richard.

I do have another question.

For the cube of the default scene, I can choose three types of textures (material, world, brush).
When I create a new object the material texture button is not present (the other two are).

What is the problem here?
