       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  percent-
       ages).


       The  user  will need to have the printer color chart available to prop-
       erly 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  monitor.   (See map color table files stored
       under $LOCATION/colr and $LOCATION/colr2.)
