Basic colors for plot [message #15539]

I have been having a heck of a time trying to get basic colors to work
with plot. For example, aftering entering the program fresh I type

plot, [0,1,2,3,4,5], [0,2,4,6,8,10]
loadct, 0
tek_color
plot, [0,1,2,3,4,5], [0,2,4,6,8,10], color=1

and my original plot disappears. The reason is that instead of the
tek_color color table, a linear red color table has been loaded. It has
color 0 = (0,0,0) and color 255 = (255,0,0) with a linear ramp in between.

It is not until I execute something like the IDL demo that tek_color
works as expected. That is, color 1 = white, color 2 = red, etc.

I'm sure it's something basic that I'm missing. But what?

Thanks,

Nils
