OK, that confirms what I learned by experimentation (see my previous
post, "PNGs and extra colors in FM"). 

The concluding parenthetical remark confirms that I'm an idiot. 

I wrote a script to delete the colors. Then, I discovered that, after
running the script, they didn't go away until I saved as MIF. 

It never occurred to me that the script wasn't necessary, that saving as
MIF did the trick all by itself. 

Doug's right. It does. 

Aaaargh!
