I just struck a problem that has bothered for a while. I want to be
able to set the screen palette for my MastersPort 286 running MSDOS
5.0. Either from the keyboard directly as with the SupersPorts or
through software. Both would, of course, be ideal. Now the problem.

I know that the ZDS utility, MACHINE, has a command PALETTE[n] to do
this, but when I run it I get a message that says that palette is an
invalid parameter. The only thing I can think of that I am doing
"differently" is that the version of MACHINE I am running was part of 
the MSDOS 4 that came with the machine itself.

I really do miss being able to vary the palette from within any
program as I could on the SupersPort. 

Any suggestions/solutions will be appreciated.

Time is such a valuable commodity because they're not making it any more.
