By 2 colors do you mean 1 for the plot and 2 for background, or 2
colors of plot and a third for background?

What are you using to generate the TEK input?  I have used VLT with hsplot
(plotting utility for hspice) in 4 and 8 color mode.  When the plot contained
5 colors and VLT was in 4 color mode it just wrapped around, so 
color 4 = color 0.


Your plotting package may think it's outputing to a monochrome tek
tube.  In that case there will be no color codes in the input and it
won't matter what you set VLT to.

It just might.
