So I found the simple %colors definition below the "NO NO NO don't 
change any code below here", added a few, and it worked great... :)

Maybe import the color list from the conf file?

Yes.
AJAX? :)
There are lots of sexy things you could do with drraw if you wanted to 
spend a few weeks using AJAX. (populate DS lists, immediately show graph 
updates, etc..)
At the expense of sanity and perhaps server load.

Anyway...
I found my browser cache and the persistence of the text input boxes 
made this process much easier.
