Thanks slre,

I seem to be making some progress now.

Using a colon instead of an asterisk in the code really changes things. I
had been getting residual SS and MS of zero. Which is ridiculous. Now I get
much more plausible values. 

Also, When I used an asterisk instead of a colon It wouldn't give results
for three way interactions. With colons it will.

You are correct about plot being nested within treatment. There are six
plots in each of 2 treatments.

So, I guess I will have to perform a separate analysis to quantify the
effect of treatment.

Thanks again.
