I have been trying to transfer a small color picture (from MacDraw
II), but every time I paste it into the clipboard, the color
information is lost.

My real goal is to store a color PICT in the resource file of an
application.  I've also tried "Save as PICT" in MacDraw II, but it is
stored in the file's data fork, not as a PICT resource.

Is this a MacDraw II bug (it won't let color escape from the
application as a PICT)?  Or is there some problem with color on the
clipboard?
