I have been having trouble recently with my menu bar changing colors.  It
happens regularly, but under seemingly different conditions.  Sometimes, when I
boot up, the bar is a random color (it's supposed to be white).  Usually, it is
just white at boot, but changes when I run an application or two.  Which
applic doesn't seem to matter:  sometimes, it happens on the first applic I run
(no matter the size -- 2MB SuperCard or 512K Telnet both do it); other times, it
happens on the second or third.  I've even seen a unique color for each applic.

WHAT'S HAPPENNING HERE???

My system consists of:
IIcx/8MB/Apple 40MB internal/Apple 8bit color card/Apple color monitor/Kinetics
EtherPort II card
System 6.0.5/Multifinder always/many INITs:  Color Desk (w/300K picture)/WDEF/
Dimmer/hierDA/Color Icons/SAM/SUM II Shield/TOPS/Oracle (~450K)/Responder/
Suitcase II.

My thoughts were that my system heap space was too full.  Isn't this dynamic,
though?  If not, how do I increase it?  "About the Finder..." says:
1812K for System, with little "in use" bar about 90% black.  Thanks for the
assist. in advance.
