assigning colors to raster maps

  Sorry about that last message, it must have been garbled in transmission.

1. Try commands d.colormode fixed / d.colormode float.

2. Try d.colortable for viewing color chart on screen.

3. Try p.colors if you have a color painter. This allows you to assign
   specific colors to categories by number rather than by percent
   red/green/blue.

Good Luck!
