  I am having a problem using some color messages in PP-80 R4 with black
  and white monitors.  When using a color monitor on the older Mac II,
  the message to the ScheduledWindow topWindow:

	topWindow insideColor: ColorValue pink.

  produces a nice pink window.  When the same message is used on a black
  and white monitor, patches of dot patterns are produced that make the
  window hard to read.  

  Can anyone tell me what the problem is?  Thanks in advance!
