At a guess, you are running MacDraw on your IIcx under MultiFinder in too
small a partition, whereas you are running it on the SE under Finder, 
so it gets the whole megabyte (or most of it, anyway) to itself.

Do a "get info" on the application icon in the finder and increase the
memory allocation.

Hope this helps
