Which spec file are you using?  If you got it from sumsdb.wustl.edu, do 
you know the directory or archive ID, so I can find it quickly?  If not, 
then perhaps just the name of the spec file will help.  I assume you're 
using a publicly available PALS_B12 dataset, rather than a surface you 
reconstructed and registered of your own.

Here's the spec file that I am using: 
Human.PALS_B12.LEFT_HEM.with-COLIN-DATA.73730 and it's in the PALS_Left_Atlas 
directory that I got from the sums db. 

I'm trying out the suggestion you made below.

There is a way to do this -- at least if your paint/ROI 
intensities/indices are ordered sequentially (i.e., 1, 2, 3, ...).  If 
not, then I'm not sure how to do this.  Back on 9/2005, a user wanted to 
map the AAL ROIs to PALS, but it's intensity-to-parcel scheme looked 
like this (116 labels):

FAG    Precentral_L    2001
FAD    Precentral_R    2002
F1G    Frontal_Sup_L    2101
...
VER8    Vermis_8    9150
VER9    Vermis_9    9160
VER10    Vermis_10    9170

The trouble is that the paint index to paint name mapping is stored in 
the AFNI .HEAD file like this:

type  = string-attribute
name  = LUT_NAMES
count  = 423
'???~???_not_used~GYRAL~SUL.STS~SUL.AS~SUL.SF~SUL.ITS~SUL.PoCeS~SUL.PoSubCeS~SUL.CeS~SUL.IPrCeS~SUL.pITS~SUL~SUL.IFS~SUL.IPS~SUL.AOS~SUL.OTS~CENTRAL~SUL.intFS~SUL.SPrCeS~SUL.FOS~SUL.MFS~SUL.TOrbS~SUL.LOS~SUL.FMS~SUL.SFS~SUL.CoS~SUL.TOS~SUL.SupPS~SUL.RhS~CALCARINE~MEDIAL.WALL~SUL.CaSd~SUL.OrbS~SUL.HF~SUL.CaSv~SUL.POS~SUL.CiSmr~SUL.CiS~SUL.SSS~SUL.SubPS~SUL.OlfS~SUL.ILS~SUL.SRS~SUL.ISS~SUL.MPrCeS~SUL.PaCeS~SUL.IRS~SUL.LuS~

The ordinal position of the name corresponds to the intensity (first is 
intensity=1; second is intensity=2, and so on).  But for the AAL volume, 
we'd need 2000 bogus names just to get to the first real AAL label, 
whose intensity is 2001.

I'm not sure how you get this info into Caret using the GUI; in the 
past, I've simply edited the .HEAD file with a text editor (I know, 
naughty Donna, but the AFNI police probably already have warrants out 
for us for using a non-standard attribute such as LUT_NAMES;-).
