There is something funny going on here that
I haven't been able to put my finger on yet.
I have a color Inkjet 990cse and I swear
about 60% of the time I can't get any color
out of object graphics programs at all.

So, surprised at Dick's suggestion, I just
tried to print. Sure enough, out of my printer
comes a gray-scale plot. OK, try the file
thing. I used an Apple Postscript color driver.
Sure enough, that showed up in color when viewed
in Ghostview. Humm. Try printing again to my
Inkjet. What!? Now it's in color!

Very, very strange. :-(

I know this has happened to me before because I
was trying to get a color print for a client the
other day and couldn't. I had to resort to a
screen snapshot.

Oh, well, something to chew on over the weekend.
The leaves will take care of themselves.

Cheers,

David
