With only a limited number of colors available, the Palette Manager will
"borrow" colors from other windows to satisfy the needs of the front
window. There are varying degrees of courtesy that can be assigned to each
color the front window needs. What is "borrowed" is actually an entry in
a color table -- the RGB spec is only used if it matches. Thus a
particular RGB spec used by another window may be modified for the front
window. For a detailed discussion of these issues read the palette manager
chapter (IM V, pp.151-169). There is a brief introduction in  d e v e l o p,
January '90 issue.
