Anyone out there? the volume is pretty low here.

I have a program that does color shaded contours. On a black/white
display I get:static display cannot load a color table (close enough)

help, /device gives me this:
WAVE> help, /device

How do i get a gray scale colormap(similar to the B/W linear)
that will allow my program to work. Do I have to create one???
