Gary:
You get the Gold Star for today!
For some reason beyond my ken, Color 1 in my [BandMap] section was
0xff0000, and changing it to 0xff brought up spots. I went from band to
band and it is consistent. Your idea appears to have been spot on, if
you pardon the expression.
I have /not /ever played with BandMap colors--who would want to with
such a goofy color definition system?--so I have now idea how those four
zeros got there.
Thanks--I never would have figured that out!
