What is the difference between wax paper and parchment paper?
Parchment is effectively teflon coated. Wax paper is wax coated. Parchment paper is non-stick even at high temperatures. Wax paper at high temps will melt and stick to the product. Wax paper is ideal for warming bread products(sandwiches,burrito's) in the microwave. Parchment paper is more versatile. For more info go tohttp://chowhound.chow.com/topics/350365

What does greasing a brownie pan mean?
Line your pan with foil or parchment paper. Leave extra foil or parchment hang over the sides to use in lifting out the cooked brownies for cutting. This works for Teflon coated, glass, or any type of metal pan. If you don't have foil or parchment paper and you are using a Teflon pan it doesn't need but a small amount of butter or oil rubbed on the bottom of the pan (I know things are not supposed to stick to this type of pan, but it doesn't hurt to be safe rather than sorry.) For all other pans rub a small pat of butter, or just use the paper the butter came in to rub down the bottom and the sides of the pan (pay special attention the the corners), then using a couple of teaspoons of flour poured into the bottom swirl it around and up the sides to coat the pan ( the butter holds the flour so you know where you have been), throw any unused flour away and then you can add your batter.
