All I can say is when I wrote a paint program that was able to adjust the
palette I could adjust ALL 256 colors.  But I did run into some wierd
stuff with the first fifteen, like they would change back after I returned
from a routine and printed something.
I would have posted it on the Official Euphoria page but I coded it in
about 2 weeks and the code is REALLY ugly.  Not very modular, a real pain
to add something to pull down menus, and only works in 1 graphics mode
(800x600x256 I think.)
I'll send it if anyone thinks they can learn anything usefull.
