Thanks - that seems to have worked. The gerbv I was using was from a repository and was quite old. The reason I set all the corresponding layers to the same colours was that if I XORed two corresponding layers that were both the same colour, only the differences remained, everything else would be black. But if I XORed two layers that were different colours everything remained, but with varying colour depending upon whether there was overlap or not. (presumably because the XOR process XOR's every bit of the colour for each pixel in the two layers, and produces a resultant colour from this comparison - so only if both colours are the same will black result)
