Have you allotted more memory to MacDraw? I needed to give MacDraw II (which is the version I have) 12000K so it would open it's maximum of 7 files (my files are around 100K each). There are issues with some memory cache or something, so the more you allot the better, but MD will only open up to 7 files at the same time. Notice that the "Open..." menu item will be grayed out in MD. Other issues: MacDraw will not "Save" a document if it resides on a hard disk that has more than 1GB of free space - I dealt with this a couple of years ago (I did a web search and found the answer from someone) and have kept the HD free space under 1GB ever since. Stangely enough "Save As..." worked fine. If you double-click (or choose command-o or drag a file to the app icon) to open a MD file from the Finder it will open okay (usually), but if you try to open another from the Finder, MD will quit with a type 2 error. You can select and open a group of files at once from the Finder though, but again, trying to open files in the Finder will crash MD with type 2. Opening from the app menu seems to work the best. I'm using MacDraw II on a PM8600/G3400 with OS9.1. Turtle-Bear -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
