How does one tell how many bits per pixel are set in the Control Panel?
I know that it's possible, because I see demos that refuse to run
unless 8 bits per pixel (256 colors) are set up -- they display a
message saying "8 bits per pixel required" if it isn't set up.

I assume I'm missing something from IM 5; can anyone set me straight?
