 Thanks, that did the trick, but now I'm having some colormap problems.
I tried setting the colormap to false, and pixmap to false, but I still get
my animation sequence displayed with a colormap not of my choosing.  Actually,
The animation display pane shows up with a colormap when the mouse cursor is
not in the display pane; when it is in the display pane, I get a gray scale
image, but the entire screen becomes black and I can't see any of the buttons,
etc.  I'm running this on a Sun SPARCStation 2 with OpenWindows version 2.
I've read about the openwin2 colormap problems.  Is this just another example
of this or am I doing something wrong?
