What is pal defined as?

Please post the rest of the traceback as well: there is some
useful information in there.

In this case I'll take a wild guess, although it is impossible
to say for sure without seeing the rest of your code, that you
have declared pal as an RGB * or a PALETTE * instead of just
a PALETTE.

Look at the ex15 program, and see what you are doing differently to
that. I can guarantee that ex15 works correctly, so wherever the
difference is, that is your problem.
