Got it! I am posting this in case anyone else out there gets bitten.
First of all, the main problem was in fact user error. None of the
docs that I had mentioned that when you are in medium resolution you
can only use 4 colors (I knew that), but they also failed to mention
that you can also use only the FIRST four colors.
These are supposed to be 0=black,1=white,2=red, and 3=green.
Not so, in fact 0=black,1=white,2=green and 3=blue. Anything else
returns white. It never occurred to me to just try each color in
order, big mistake it turns out.
Anyway, that's the answer to this problem and I am going to call
Mark Williams and let them know they have what appears to be a
documentation error.
