I think you may be right about this. But if you
understand color tables now, ANNOTATECOLOR isn't
needed. That was just there for the newbies. :-)
The basic rule is simple: if you want the right
colors, load them just before you draw something.
Then, you are *always* right.
Except with printers, of course, but... let's leave
that for another day.
Cheers,
David
