THE COLOR PALETTE
			     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Color Palette is used to create a custom set of 16 colors. These 16
colors can be chosen from the 4,096 colors available on the Amiga. The
Color Palette is selected from the Project menu by selecting PALETTE-EDIT
or by pressing the F9 function key. 

The Color Palette can be called up and edited from any screen.

LOADING AND SAVING PALETTES
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A palette can be saved as a file. A palette directory is included on the
Calligrapher disk to store palette files. Use the CLI to delete a palette
file as necessary.

COPY PALETTE
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Color Palettes can be copied FROM or TO any Font, Brush, Pattern or Style.
Each of the 4 file types has palette information saved inside of its file.
The palette information of these files can be copied from one to another.
Palettes are important for use with ColorFonts because each Font can have a
unique color palette. The F10 function key will bring up the Copy Palette
menu.

The COPY FROM SCREEN and COPY TO SCREEN boxes are both referring to the
screen color palette. COPY FROM SCREEN will copy the current screen palette
to a Font, Style, Pattern or Brush. COPY TO SCREEN will copy the palette
from a Font, Style, Pattern or Brush to the screen.

Here's an example:

1. 	Make sure that the appropriate Brush, Font, Pattern or Style is
	loaded and selected. A Brush must be loaded from the Edit screen.
	Fonts, Styles and Patterns must be loaded and selected (displayed
	in inverse video in the File Scroll Box) in their screens. Use
	SYSTEM STATUS (F8) to verify that the proper files are loaded and 
	selected.
2.	Click on the appropriate TO or FROM option below either the COPY
	FROM SCREEN or COPY TO SCREEN prompts.
3. 	Click on the Copy gadget in the lower left portion of the menu. 
	Click on the RESTORE SCREEN gadget to undo the selection.
4.	Click on the EXIT gadget or press any key to exit.

After editing a palette, the Copy Palette menu is automatically displayed.
The Screen palette is the palette that has just been edited. Use the COPY
FROM SCREEN selections to save the palette information into the appropriate
Font, Pattern, Style or Brush.
