I believe you can select the application, and do a Get Info on it.  If you're
running under Multifinder, there should be a text box under the comment box to
allow changing the actual memory size.  Just try it, it's obvious when you see
it.  Note that there's no guarantee that an application will still run after
changing the size, and I'd probably do it only when well backed up.  Also, I
believe the default size is 384K if the application has no SIZE resource.  This
could be what you're seeing.
