								 ^^^^^

This must be a pointer to array of UWORD's!

How about this:

struct NewScreen myscreen  = {0, 0, STDSCREENWIDTH, STDSCREENHEIGHT, 3,1,0,
			      HIRES,CUSTOMSCREEN,NULL,  
                              "BBS Screen", NULL, NULL};                   

/* look into intuition/screens.h for more info on pens */
UWORD screenpens[]={0,1,3,2,3,2,3,2,3,~0};


  if (!(s=OpenScreenTags(&myscreen,
			 SA_Overscan,OSCAN_TEXT,
			 SA_FullPalette,TRUE,
			 SA_Pens,screenpens,
			 TAG_DONE)))


Hope this helps...
