GRASS GIS compatibility with IslandWrite

Greg writes,

Anyone out there use IslandWrite? I notice that if I have a GRASS graphical
display operating, and then begin an IslandWrite process, the colors of the
IslandWrite interface are corrupted. But interestingly enough, when the
cursor is outside of IslandWrite windows, the color reverses to the correct
appearance. I haven't seen any other utility behave this way.

Any ideas why? and any fixes?

We use IslandWrite/Paint/Draw extensively with Grass. The color flipping
is due to the applications competing for the color table.

IslandWrite provides you with a mechanism for "locking" the color table
to IslandWrite; simply put the cursor in the Write window and hit the
L4 (or L2) key.
