    OK, here's a question from a novice who just started using Windows 3.0.

    I had a 256-color GIF file that I converted to a dithered B&W image
    using the Graphics Workshop.  Again using GWS, I converted the dithered
    image to a monochrome BMP file.  When I open this BMP file from within
    Paintbrush, the color palette across the bottom of the screen turns into
    a selection of B&W patterns.  The color editor also comes up in B&W.

    Is there any way I can edit color into this B&W image?  I tried setting
    the color menu option and reloading the file, but again I got the B&W
    patterns instead of a color palette.  I also converted the BMP image to
    a PCX file, but got the same result.

    Thanks.   -- Keith
