I have found that in MOST (but not all) cases, I can leave my graphic as
black in Corel, then assign it a color in PM4 and everything works ok.
It does seem to be quite quirky however, not working all of the time.
When I assigned it a color in Corel and then exported it as EPS and then
assigned it the same color in PM4, I ended up with a "screen" of the
color when it printed to lino "film".  ARGH!!!

And to add to the list of things you "CAN'T" do:  You can't import
a PCX into Corel, then add text to the PCX, export the whole thing 
as EPS, place it in PM4, and then print to Lino.  What happens is,
it looks fine on the laser printer, but when you go to lino, the 
stupid text changes to Courrier!! Once again, ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!
