Fixed
ERRATA. I fixed it, then had a look in the AMOSPro manual.
Colour is NOT a reserved variable. You cannot do Colour(XX) = YY . YOu have an instruction and a function.
Colour XX, YY <- the instruction
Print Colour( XX ) <- the function.
Where did you see that it was a reserved variable ?
When I saw your note, I went back and checked the AMOSPro manual as well. My mistake! I usually double-check the syntax before posting a bug. I must have missed this one. I don't know if I read this in another doc or I just remembered wrong. Sorry about that! I hope you didn't work too long on this.
Just a thought though, (especially since you already did it), is there any reason we could NOT do this? Since the palette is already treated like an array with c=Colour(n), it is intuitive that Colour(n)=c should also be valid.
It would be a plus for ease of use. (Of course, we'd keep the original syntax for AMOSPro compatibility.)
What do you think?
(Near the end of my last comment "original syntax" should read "instruction syntax").
