When I open a custom screen, I seem to inherit the default WB colors.
I seem to have figured out how to pick the register from which I draw
any particular image, but I don't know how to pick what colors go into
those registers.

1. #registers == 2^#bitplanes, right?  How do I set these registers so
   that the colors will be there immediately upon opening the screen?

2. What about if I want to change the colors on the fly?  What's an
   established way to let the user to it via a requestor?

3. What do the different values in the registers mean?  I assume that
   |Palette| = 4096 <=> register size = 12 bits.  This would in turn
   imply 4 bits per color.  How are these split up to chose the exact
   colors.

4. This information should be more easily available.  I looked in the
   Libraries & Devices and couldn't find it in screens, colors,
   windows (I'm trying to stick with Intuition).  Where should I be
   looking?

Details:  Using A3000 & WB2.0, but want compatible w/ 1.3.  Aztec C.
I would love examples of what values make what colors, and example
code would make my day.  Also, references to your sources of
information would also be helpful, so I can find it myself next time.
