Many of the FB constants are different from the ones in IM (for example,
the constants for the window record).  So you have to double check every
constant that you use when you refer to Toolbox records.  This is, needless
to say, a pain in the tuckus.

If you are referring to the ctTable offset in the ColorTable structure then
the offset appears to be 8, according to Think Reference.
