The problem is with hierDA/DA Menuz.  If you go to the control panel to
configure it there's a check box marked Command Keys Enabled.  If it's 
checked, it allows DAs to respond to command key sequences unless they're
intercepted by the application.  The thing is that MacDraw is probably
ignoring the second keypress and it just falls through to hierDA (maybe
the corresponding menu item is disabled while MacDraw is executing the
enlarge command?).  Anyway, the only way I know to solve it is to disable
the check box.  It doesn't sound that it is much of an annoyance to you,
since you don't sound like you were aware of it or used t in the first
place.
