Hi,

	I have a problem with changing the colormap used by a window.
I need to allocate 256 colors.  How can I create a new colormap and
then force the widget window to display true color defined in the new
colormap?  Also, I would like to know how to restore the default
colormap after executing my program.


Thanks
