Re: User-changeable colours

Hi Danny,

I read a few of the references (before seeing your note), and experimented a
little. Took me all Sunday, but I got exactly what I was looking for. And
used the same technique you describe. I also learned I could pass arguments
to the function I created, so I didn't have to create all kinds of extra
code.

Thanks. Wish I had seen your note first... :)
