Multi-color sprite problem

I just started batari basic a few weeks ago, and I can't figure this one out. I'm trying to create a multicolor sprite, but it always comes out all black. I've tried rearranging the commands, but the result is always the same. Here's my most recent code:

   player0:
   %00011100
   %00011000
   %00111100
   %00111110
   %00111100
   %00111000
   %00011000
   %00011000
end

   player0x=45
   player0y=60

Main_Loop


   COLUBK=$EE

   player0color:
   $40
   $D0
   $D0
   $5E
   $5E
   $5E
   $2E
   $2E
end

   drawscreen

   goto Main_Loop

Here's one way you can do it:

   set kernel_options player1colors

   player1:
   %00011100
   %00011000
   %00111100
   %00111110
   %00111100
   %00111000
   %00011000
   %00011000
end

   player1x=45
   player1y=60





Main_Loop


   COLUBK=$EE

   player1color:
   $40
   $D0
   $D0
   $5E
   $5E
   $5E
   $2E
   $2E
end

   drawscreen

   goto Main_Loop

Also, I can't figure out the "set kernel multisprite" command. I never get an error message, but only two large sprites and an enlarged portion of the playfield show up in the emulator.

First thing I'd do is search the bB forum for Multisprite programs that people have posted and look at their code.
