DESCRIPTION
     A palette is a color scheme used to color	a  TED	workspace
     and the TED components.

     A palette file provides the set of	eight  background  colors
     that make up a color palette.

     A variety of palettes are provided	with the TED.  As part of
     the  default palette set there are	several	palettes designed
     specifically to work  well	 on  monochrome	 and  gray  scale
     displays.

     The Style Manager is the desktop  graphical  user	interface
     tool  which  is  used  to	add,  delete,  or  modify a color
     palette.  The end user should  never  need	 to  act  on  the
     palette file directly.

     All palette files have a .dp suffix.  The file contents  are
     the  eight	colors of the palette, specified as RGB	values in
     hexadecimal.

     The palette files provided	with the system	 are  located  in
     the directory /usr/dt/palettes/C.

     User    specific	 palette    files    are    located    in
     HOME/.dt/palettes.

     The Style Manager resource	paletteDirectories can be used to
     specify additional	directories where palettes are located.

     When a  user  creates  a  new  palette,  it  is  located  in
     HOME/.dt/palettes.	  System palettes that the user	has modi-
     fied are also  located  in	 this  directory.   When  a  user
     deletes   a   palette,   that   palette  is  placed  in  the
     HOME/.dt/palettes directory with a	~ prefix.  If  it  was	a
     user  specified palette, the original file	is removed.  Sys-
     tem palettes are never removed.  If the user has a	~ copy of
     a	system	palette, that palette will not appear in the list
     of	available palettes in the Style	Manager.
