       This  function allows the user to modify a color table for
       a raster map layer, by assigning colors to the  categories
       in  the	raster	map  layer based on printer color numbers
       (instead of red, green, blue percentages).


       The user will need to have the printer color chart  avail-
       able  to  properly select the colors (see manual entry for
       _p_._c_h_a_r_t).


       The _p_._c_o_l_o_r_s function allows the user to exercise  perfect
       control	over  the  colors  which  appear  in the hardcopy
       image.

NNOOTTEESS
       If the user assigns a printer color number outside of  the
       printer's  range, _p_._c_o_l_o_r_s will not complain, but will not
       save the out-of-range printer color number to  the  raster
       map layer's color table.


       This  command  modifies	the color table associated with a
       map layer, and will therefore also affect  the  colors  in
       which a map layer is displayed on the user's graphics mon-
       itor.  (See map color  table  files  stored  under  $LOCA-
       TION/colr and $LOCATION/colr2.)
