  Well, it tries to open on the frontmost screen.  Unfortunately, if that
screen has more than 5 bitplanes Palette will crash the system with an address
error.  It seems to get its gadget list messed up somehow.  It only gets as far
as putting a big empty rectangle on the screen, then adios.  Too bad, it would
be a useful program otherwise.
