I've been trying to draw to an indexed color device setting my
screen to 256 colors (BTW, how would I do this in my program?), but
I have not been able to find a drawing command that uses the index
color, rather than an RGB argument.

Can I specify the drawing color through it's index, if so, how?

If you're being nice and using he Palette manager to get your chosen
256 colours onscreen, then use pmForeColor.

If you're not being nice and using the palette manager, then just
blast your desired CLUT index into the appropriate byte of RAM
(baseAddr + y*(rowBytes&0x3fff + x) yourself.
