True colors and IDL [message #6008]

Hi,

I am running IDL 4.0.1 on a DEC AlphaStation (Digital UNIX) with
a 24 bit monitor. I routinely display a large number of 1024x1024
images from FITS files. These images are displayed using 1 of 4
color tables we have added to the standard IDL set. I am presently
setting device,pseudo_color=8 since I haven't found a QUICK
way to create the TRUECOLOR images on the fly.

Anyhow, the trouble I'm having is that the proper color table is
not being set unless I also bring up XLOADCT. After the color
table is loaded once I can get rid of XLOADCT and it will still
use the proper color table for future images in the same IDL session.
Therefore, once I get the 4 color tables loaded I can get rid of
XLOADCT but this is a pain not to mention silly.

Does anyone know if this is a feature, bug, or pilot error????
Is there something I'm not setting in my .Xdefaults??

lost in color.....thanks in advance.
