OK, here's a question from a novice who just started using Windows 3.0.
I had a 256-color GIF file that I converted to a dithered B&W image
using the Graphics Workshop. Again using GWS, I converted the dithered
image to a monochrome BMP file. When I open this BMP file from within
Paintbrush, the color palette across the bottom of the screen turns into
a selection of B&W patterns. The color editor also comes up in B&W.
Is there any way I can edit color into this B&W image? I tried setting
the color menu option and reloading the file, but again I got the B&W
patterns instead of a color palette. I also converted the BMP image to
a PCX file, but got the same result.
Thanks. -- Keith

Assuming you didn't change the size when you dithered, you get the most interesting looking results...
