John,
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Apparently the problem 
is that the palette in question is opened automatically when a package 
is loaded, and the value of AutoOpenPalettes is only changed when a 
palette is selected from the File > Palettes menus. Am I correct? If 
so, is there any way that a palette opened by other means can be 
remembered?

Regards,
