Hey, thanks for clearing that up.
I must've had a lot of orderly gif palettes to not notice this. I was
going on the notion of how a palette index can be in disarray and still
be black to white for elevation! Couldn't be more wrong I guess.
It has been quite a while since I've read those old parts of the DOC.
Maybe this will teach me to re-read before I type.
