I would like to modify the standard colors as displayed in MLCAD.
This way, I could make the black a little lighter and modify the line
colors for certain colors.  The purpose is to make instructions a
little easier to tell where one part ends and another begins.  I don't
want to use all custom colors in the models because that makes them a
lot less portable.  Does MLCAD have any way of supporting this?

While I capture all of my models with ML-CAD but I render all of the images
I use for instruction books with LD-Lite.  You have more control over line
widths and image size with LD-Lite and I think you will be happier with the
result.  Granted, getting the images out of LD-Lite is no where as
straightforward as getting them out of ML-CAD but I think the results are
worth the efforts.

Thanks- I'll look into it.  I guess it's time to start comparing the
rendering of all the editors out there.  For my current problem, I ended up
rendering with POV-Ray.  I realized while doing so that substeps may
actually be a little easier there than in MLCAD.  That's another thing to
try out...
