[Ti] Grey-scale display

[Murray Kastner]

Guys, you're terrific to respond so quickly and I've even got off-list 
replies. Truly, this is one of the Mac's sterling attributes: the 
quality of its users.

For the record, here is how I resolved this issue. I created a new user 
and then deleted the existing user. All the parameters of the existing 
user transferred to the new, sole user. The old deleted user, with its 
"belongings' became a .drg file for retrieval if I needed something or 
forgot something. Apparently the newly created user bypassed whatever 
glitch was causing the grey-scale opening and everything is as it 
should be.

If I've left anything out and you're interested, please email me 
off-list.
