Synopsis:
    #include <graph.h>
    short _FAR _selectpalette( short palnum );

Description:
    The _selectpalette function selects the palette indicated by the
    argument palnum from the color palettes available.  This function is
    only supported by the video modes _MRES4COLOR and _MRESNOCOLOR.

    Mode _MRES4COLOR supports four palettes of four colors.  In each
    palette, color 0, the background color, can be any of the 16 possible
    colors.  The color values associated with the other three pixel values,
    (1, 2 and 3), are determined by the selected palette.

    The following table outlines the available color palettes:


         Palette              Pixel Values
         Number    1               2               3

            0     green           red             brown
            1     cyan            magenta         white

            3     light cyan      light magenta   bright white
