I need help getting going on X windows.
I was completely new to this as of a month ago, and I
have gotten to the point that I can get a window up and going,
but I still cannot seem to understand how to change colormaps
from the default.  What I am trying to do is put together
a sort of frame into which I can insert graphics routines.

I have done this, but I only can access the 16 colors in the default
colormap.  If anyone has a program that I could easily rip apart
down to the bare minimum, or if anyone has doen the same thing 
(as I am sure nearly all of you have) could you please
send me Email the address of an anonymous ftp possibility,
or just mail me the program if you have one.  I would greatly
appreciate it.

Also can anyone tell me what they think is the best documentation
for Xlib programming?  I am currently using the set edited by
