I have the following code in a program that is trying to draw
gray (you may say "dimmed") text in a modeless dialog window.

   PenPat(ltGray);                          /* gray pen */
   GetItem(myMenuHand, itemNum, &myStr255); /* get menu item */
   DrawString(myStr255);                    /* write item's name */

(I am using LSC).  

Problem is, the text comes out black as night!! How do I get gray 
text?

Thanks for any help, especially you Apple folks!
