Hello world !

I'm interfacing VMD with my program written in tcl dedicated to multiple
sequences alignment analysis. I use VMD to display structures with some
properties. For simplicity reasons, I had to transfer the colors I use
to VMD. I create a color lookup table, starting at index 100, ending at
227 and looping like this :

color change rgb $id $r $g $b
set lookup($c) $i
set lookup($i) $c

When I try to use these colors, like

mol addrep 0
mol modselect 1 0 resid 100 to 300
mol modcolor 1 0 colorid 110

the resulting rep seems to be colored in black, or not colored at all (I
can't see the difference ...)

I didn't find in the on-line html user's guide something related to the
use of colors with id > 16 ...

Can you tell me what am I doing wrong ?

Thank you for any help !!
