global variables are shorts, ints, or pointers. I took all global variables
from one

One tool you can use is the IDE's "disassemble" command. Using the pref
panels, disable the code display so you can concentrate on data objects.
Then, disassemble different source files and see what they are contributing
to the global data section.
Having lots of constant strings is one things that can cause this -- moving
ones used in multiple files into resources can help. Also, large intialized
arrays can really eat up space.
