I like that option best of the ones mentioned so far.
However, logically if you can
    'save rgbpalette <filename>'
you would expect to be able to restore it later using
    'load <filename>'
This suggests to me that the output of the save command
should be formatted such that it is acceptable to 'load'.

Also, would it not be equally (or even more) useful to have a
    'test rgbpalette'
that displays in the plot window an indexed array of the
palette colors?
