Neither FileZap nor Disasm seemed to be able to handle a file as big as Draw correctly, so I zapped Draw over to an 8-banger CP/M system and took a look at it with EdFile. The ColorMap image is located at 135908(10), 212E4(16). A little twidling, and now Draw comes up with colors to match the pens, & in the order I want. If you need to make a similar alteration, here is what the default color table looks like: 0329 0FFF 0000 0FF0 000F 0F0F 00FF 0006 0620 0E50 0851 0EB0 044F 092F 00F7 0CCC If you do change the default values, you should keep the first three (desktop, menubar, window) and the last (grey for differently colored grid).

Well, fixing the color table was on my "to do" list, anyway. There are some other defaults that I would like to change permanently, such as size/placement of the initial window, ruler status, grid pattern, and initial pen. Unfortunately, these won't be as easy to find as a 32 byte table w/ known entries. The easy way would be to capture binary images of Draw before and after the changes were made, and run the files through a binary comparator — except that I don't know of a utility that will do a binary image capture for the Amiga, since it isn't just "start at 0100 and save n pages."
