        I don't exactly understand what you mean.. but i guess the only
wanted effect i can come up with is that the colors should look the
same in your program as in MSPaint (PS There are a lot better (but
shareware) drawing tools, like Paint Shop Pro, just search with
Excite (the best & smartest, it can *learn*, it is almost AI))

        Here some example code:
--------------------- ThE CoDe ------------- ~<~<~<~<~<~@ (cool rose)

        include graphics.e              -- Graphics mode support
        include image.e                 -- Image sequence manipulation

        if graphics_mode (19) then
                puts(1,"GET A DESCENT VIDEO CARD, Fred...\n")
                abort(1)
        end if

        object my_image

        my_image = read_bmp ("my_image.bmp")
        if atom(my_image) then
                puts(1,"Error loading image!!!\n")
                abort (1)
        end if
        all_palette (my_image[1]/4)             -- 256 to 64 color levels
        display_image ({0,0},my_image[2])
------------------------------------------------ <o^o> (auto)

        This will display "my_image.bmp" with the right colors!!
        But you MUST save your pictures with 256 colors or less, so not a
windows zillion colors way incompatible bitmap !!!

        Its about someone's intentions and thinking that makes a person BAD,
not his intelligence nor his knowledge... any1 disagreeing will
someday meet some1 smarter then him and it will make him feel LOW....

        So you shouldn't worry... asking for help is a sign of respect...

        Glad to help you..
