Ha! Silly me...this is what I get for copying suntools pixrect code.
All my values needed to be multiplied by 256.  Somewhere down the
line they get divided by 256.  Everything resulting in 0.  All black.
voila!

I Did RTFM...but, it also help to understand it.  It probably took me about
5 times reading the same page...the one about RGB values between 0 and 64K.

Anyways...thanks for all your help.
