Well, I'm in the process of writing a small program in which I want to be able
to control the default colors of a custom screen / window that I open.  Will
using (oops, I meant while!) PowerWindows to generate my structures, it
generated a "palette" structure for me to use with my copper colors (or
whatever they are called {8-:>)  Anyway, I started looking through all of my
Amiga books, but I couldn't really find any relevant information except about
SetRGB4 and LoadRGB4 in the graphics library.  In order to use these
functions, I get the feeling (after the code didn't work) that I must first
create a view / viewport in order to do all of that?  Do I also need to create
a ColorMap for this entire thing?  

OR am I going about this in the wrong fashon?

Thanks!
