for no reason (so it seems) bgcolor (attrui) for the comment object doesn't receive colors...

See patch below, everything should turn pink when I hit the message right?

On my machine, Max 7.3.2 on MacOS 10.2.3, the bgcolor attribute of the comment object works fine but it's the textcolor attribute that can't be set by a message, although textcolor can be set with the color wheel in the attrui, or via the Fonts dialog box and the attrui will then reflect that change. I note that 'textcolor' is not listed in the reference manual as an attribute of the comment object, so I suspect that this anomaly of not responding to a textcolor message is due to a bug in the comment object.

Hmm. I just experimented a bit further and found that the 'textcolor' message doesn't work if just RGB information is provided. It appears to work only with RGBA.

Possible attrui+comment bug?
