I have drawn a 256 colour bitmap and stored it in a .RES file for use in a
TPW program.  Unfortunately when I LoadBitmap() the resource, it seems to
give me back a 16-colour bitmap.  (It may be 256 colours, but I can't display
it as such, and believe me I've tried everything.)  So my questions are:

1) does LoadBitmap() support 256-colour bitmaps?
2) If so, how do you draw them? (short sample code would be appreciated!)

Thanks.
