Looks like it doesn't. Instead it just wants the first and last 10 colors (20
total) to be the standard Windows/VGA base palette. As long as you don't target
8-bit display users, you are free to use whatever you want for the other 236.
But... if you are targeting 8-bit users, they do have a recommended palette to
go to (the office palette)

Anyway, that's basically what we used to need to deal with in Windows
multimedia, and making a set of images to a single 8-bit palette containing
those 20 colors in the top and bottom 10 was a common thing.

Tanks!
I know you'll think me a complete idiot (and maybe I am), but is there any
way to get ImageMagick to do this automatically?

As far as I know, ImageMagick is a command line utility. (?)
If that is the case, you can write a "script" for it. A shell
script if you work with Unix, or a batch script if you work
with Windows (the .bat files or .cmd files you sometimes see).
This is not very complicated, but if you've never done that
before, you'll probably need some help or a book.

Well, I do know how to get ImageMagick to mass-process images, I just don't
know what setting to use to get it to make the first and last 10 items in
the palette the standard Win colors.

I don't know ImageMagick. Perhaps there's a newsgroup or
mailing-list dedicated to the usage of this tool?
