Steve,
       I have run into a curious thing.  I have a form on which I want to 
change the color of a label or an edit box component at run-time.  When I 
write the code that the online help says will do that:
       Form3.Label1.Color := clGreen;
and try to compile it, the system seems not to understand what "clGreen" is. 
It refers to it as an "unknown identifier".  Now if that were one of *my* 
defined constants, it would mean that either I forgot to define it or I had 
not included the unit where its definition was given.  Is it defined in some 
unit not automatically included by Delphi?
      On the actual form in question, I have set ParentColor to "FALSE" and 
changed the color manually there in the Object Inspector, and it works when I 
point-n-shoot at the color clGreen in the list of available colors.
       My code designed to change the color is in a global unit and is 
referenced in the Unit3 "uses..."  section.
When I change the code to:
       Form3.Label1.Color := 3;
it compiles, but the label's color becomes a solid black instead of some 
desired color when the program is run.
What am I missing?  (I am using the 16-bit Delphi which came along with 
Delphi 2. I think it is version 1.02.)
Thanks in advance,
Justin
