  Glad you like 'em.
  You can't use the colour System 7 WDEF under System 6 because the new WDEF
uses features which are only available in System 7.  The most notable being
that the new WDEF calls _DeviceLoop to do it's drawing so that it "does the
right thing" when a window is spanning monitors of different bit depths.
