PALSAVE - Saves the current palette of a colour table to an NDF

Description:

This application reads the palette  portion of the current graphics device's  colour table and saves it in an NDF . The palette comprises 16 colours and is intended to provide coloured annotations, borders, axes, graphs etc. that are unaffected by changes to the lookup table  used for images.
