indeed you can.

if you select a symbol to use and a colour, then instead of filling the 
polygon with the colour, you get a pattern fill of that colour.  If you 
adjust the size you can have a bigger or smaller pattern.

SYMBOL 6
COLOR 0 0 255
SIZE 8

that will give you a polygon filled with a blue grid.

you can experiment with outline colour, and background colour for other 
effects too.

have fun.
