I have partially figured out my problem with copybits but not entirely.  It 
seems that the color translation is not happening because I didn't change the
seed value for the color map when I changed the map.  However, when I change 
the seed using getctseed it screws up the colormap on the main screen even 
though the color map that I am changing is on a different device.  I am 
changing the color table for the pixmap associated with my window directly 
since I have several offscreen bitmaps that also point to the same color 
table and thus I only need to make the change once.  Is it a no-no to do 
this?  Why?  Any help will be appreciated.  Thanks.

Allen
