Hello all,
    Well I am working on the standard tile based learn how to use Allegro
stuff and I was wondering if there is any way to change the transparent
color from black to something else.  Black is pretty useful for drawing the
"ink" lines in characters to give them more depth but then when I
draw_sprite, it puts the background color instead.  I looked for something
in the palette information but I couldnt find anything on it.  I also tried
using a dark blue and it worked but gave the characters a blue tint to them.
Any ideas?  Thanks in advance.

-Will
