If you're going to 'save' it to a file, wouldn't the most sensible place
be a sub-option of the 'save' command?  So IMHO it should be something
like

	save palette '<filename>' ncolors <n>

> show palette palette <n> {savergb {<scale> {int}} 'filename'}

The doubling of 'palette' in there feels wrong, to me.

I seriously doubt that all that scaling is worth the hassle.  Either write
out floats, or ints scaled up to the usual 8-bit range.
