I know I can create a template *document* with my choice of fonts, pen settings, etc., but I would really like to make these settings stick in the application itself.  That way my commonly used settings would be available to me every time I openned the app.

With version 1.1 of MacDraw II (the current release) you can have what we
call autostationary.  This means that whenever MacDraw II opens a New
document it looks for a special stationary file and if it exists it uses
this as the New document's template.  This special file is called 
"MacDraw II Options" and should be a stationary type file.  MacDraw II
looks for it in your default folder, then in the system folder, then
in a folder called "Claris" in the system folder (a good place to squirrel
away other Claris files like our dictionaries).

I think this will accomplish what you are asking for without mucking with
the Application directly.
