I can freeze and thaw layers, but how can I assign a new color to a layer?
when I select color this
it asked for Truecolor or COlbook....
so I don't know where to go from here
Current layer: "0"
Enter an option [?/Make/Set/New/Rename/ON/OFF/Color/Ltype/LWeight/TRansparency/MATerial/Plot/Freeze/Thaw/LOck/Unlock/stAte/Description/rEconcile]: c
New color [Truecolor/COlorbook] : <<<from 1 to 255>>>
Hope this helps,

I got the script to work by making the layer, which I want to change it color to the current color, see below....
-layer
SET
A-WALL-PATT-G
C
13
SET
0
QSAVE
;end of script
Do I have to make the layer current before changing its color?
....
No. You can just give the Layer name inside the color option, and whatever the current Layer is will be irrelevant. If the setting of Layer 0 current afterwards is only because that's what you expect to be the current Layer when you do this, and you want to leave it that way, you can then omit that resetting:
-layer
C
13
A-WALL-PATT-G
QSAVE
