TWIMC:

	I am using a DEC vt125 terminal with the ReGIS capabilities.
   I am trying to utilize the (purported) color capability of the
   vt125.  Here is a description of the problem:

       According to the documentation 6 bits/pixel are allocated
       for the external monitor. (2 ea R,G,B) This should give
       64 colors.  Now, try and try again I can only display 4
       *different* colors *at one time*. Initially I surmised
       that since the HLS color model is segmented into 64 groups
       that I wasn't properly specifying the writing sequence (i.e
       [ w(i(h<hue> l<lightness> s<saturation>)) ]. 
 
        Has anyone encountered this problem and solved it ? I would
  GREATLY appreciate any help guidance and/or examples of code
  that can display the said 64 colors.

        Respond via e-mail ..akgua!sb6!scbhq!uab_cs!ramer please.
