This is looking more and more like an IDL 6.3 PostScript
problem. It seems that when I restore a previous color
table that all previous colors are converted to the
colors in the restored color table. (Older users may
remember 8-bit graphics displays and how this kind of
behavior was considered a Good Thing in those ancient
days.)

Anyway, IDL 6.3 falls into that range of releases where
everything we knew about color changed with each new
point release of IDL. Who knows (or remembers!) how
it worked in those days!?

In any case, it looks to me like my code is working
correctly, but that version of the PostScript device
doesn't quite know what to do with it.

Cheers,

David
