actually, I found that just a "set_palette(data[#].dat" will do just
nicely.  I also found out what I was doing wrong..  I remembered that
on my video card, I can't use GFX_AUTODETECT (unless I like a certain
rainbow colored palette) unless I have UNIVBE loaded.  After loading
UNIVBE (or changing it to GFX_S3 for my Diamond 2000 Pro card), the
palette looked right, multi-color font and all.  I was soooo pissed
when I fixed the problem, I banged my head on the keyboard a few
times. :)  It's still amazing how one little thing like this will just
make your day...sigh.  I think I'll go back to graphics for a while.
