I've observed that whichever color I set to be color 0 in the palette
becomes the background color of my screen (that is, the color of the area
outside the drawable area).  Does anyone know if there's any way around
this, or is this simply the way all video cards (or my video card) work?

I'd like to change color 0 in my palette, but I want to keep the area
outside the drawable area of my display black.  Can this be done?  (I'm
using Allegro, if that matters.)

Thanks in advance for any information on this.

Mitchell
