Chris,
        I pulled the cvs and applied the patch.   I ran the
mp export through mptopdf and then included it in pdflatex
document.  The colors now work properly, thanks a lot.

        The only problem I had is that I could not change
the font size and the default size was very small (at least
for producing foils).  Does anyone know a fix for this?

        Once again, thanks Chris.

Jon
