I've reported it to Apollo, and they've verified it. What you want to do is define a ui_fill_pattern, whicb does accept PATTERN = ("xxxxx"). Then, you use a PATTERN = fill_pattern_name construct in the UI_COLOR_SET definition, whereconstruct in the UI_COLOR_SER fill_pattern_name is the name you gave to the ui_fill_pattern. Incidentally, apparently Apollo no longer ships Dialogue manual updates automatically. If you don't have revision 1 of the user's guide, you will definitely want to get it (I think you are probably OK, since your page number citation matches my copy, but it's worth checking since there were many changed).
