Hi Andrew
Thanks a lot... but make a mistake!!!!!
but my result was copied rainbow palette number 13 to number 41 but
both remain in grayscale.
my command was!!!

IDL> TVLCT, r, g, b, /Get
IDL> ModifyCT, 13, 'Rainbow', r, g, b
% Compiled module: MODIFYCT.
% Compiled module: FILEPATH.
IDL> XColors
% Compiled module: XCOLORS.
% Compiled module: FIND_RESOURCE_FILE.
% Compiled module: PROGRAMROOTDIR.
% Compiled module: STRSPLIT.
% Compiled module: XREGISTERED.
% Compiled module: LOADCT.
% Compiled module: XMANAGER.
IDL> ModifyCT, 41, 'Rainbow', r, g, b
IDL> xloadct

Any Idea!!!
