I was getting this problem with an application I was developing.
I traced it down to the any screen commands I performed.  Apparently,
when I moved from an SE (mono) to my IIsi (8 bit color), it assumed
(even forced) every window was 8 bit color.  This requires a bit
more memory.  I called Fox Technical Support - they claimed it was
a problem with the operating system.  Gee, all my other application
can open mono window and not cry for 3-4 Megs of memory.  Try the
following commands, they may help.

  SET COLOR TO
    This sets the screen to the <default> B/W.

  SET INTENSITY OFF
    This turns off the enhanced screen attributes.


Good Luck.
