The trick is increasing the DA Handler's memory, I suspect. I had a
problem with QuickMail needing more memory to copy and paste large
clipboards, so I went into the DA Handler with ResEdit and increased
the SIZE resource from 16K to 32K. I can't remember the details, but I
remember it being extremely obvious as to what you wanted to change.
Worked wonders for QuickMail and I think it will work for
DeskPaint/DeskDraw too.

cheers ... -Adam
