I have put together my first custom clut and am having a bit of trouble
getting my program to use it.  I'm reading a GIF file (got tired of Giffer
and Vision Lab crashing on me all the time) and have created a palette of
256 colors.  The pmInfo array of ColorInfo records does appear to contain 
the values I have stored in it.  I call SetPalette and assign the
palette to my window.  I then call ActivatePalette, thinking that this
will make calls to PmForeColor use this palette.  It doesn't seem to.
My colors appear to be coming from the system palette.  By calling 
GetPalette I can see that my window does have my palette associated with
it, so I'm a bit confused as to what more I need to do.  Any help or
sample code would be appreciated.
