Are you sure about that?  After opening a printer GrafPort, which BTW was a
real CGrafPort, and trying to use palettes, all I could get was black.  I
had to go through great contorsions to get palettes to work at all, and even
then had to be carefull to do my own garbage collection on them before disposing
of the printer stuff.  If you know of a way to make Palettes truely automatic,
I'd love to know about it and save myself some hassle.
