How to squeeze memory in Mac 512E (if you know what I mean)

I have a question that maybe someone can answer.  We are running an
AppleShare file server (over LocalTalk) that includes some Mac Pluses
and some Mac 512KE's.  Everything works fairly well, although we cannot
now run SuperPaint on the 512KE's because of a lack of memory.  We are
using the same system/finder version (Finder 5.3 System whatever) that
we used before with the addition of AppleShare 2.01 and Responder 1.0
(and a new chooser and a couple of font changes).

With all of this, SuperPaint throws up its hands and says "I can't do 
it".  Is there any way that I can alter the amount of memory given to
the system or finder?  Any other suggestions?

Also, what does it mean in MacWrite if you try to install dictionaries
and MacWrite just beeps at you?  (We are using 5.0, obviously.)

Could there be a better system/finder set that I could use for the
512KE's that would not use as much memory?

Thanks in advance for any help you can give,
