Summary: MacDraw doesn't seem to work with Switch

Some weeks ago a nice desk accessory called 'Switch' that allows
applications other than the finder to be invoked when leaving an
application was posted to the net.  Since I have a Davong hard disk,
and Switcher 4.4 won't work with it, I was looking forward to at last
being able to switch more efficiently using this desk accessory, and
I was more than delighted when it worked fine with several different
applications.  

I had every intention of continuing to use it ... until I discovered that
for some reason it doesn't work with MacDraw (which I normally want
to switch with MacWrite frequently).  The symptom is that after the 
Switch desk accessory is invoked from inside MacDraw, all menu headers
are blanked out except File and Edit.  In particular, the Switch menu 
is not there.  This means you can't get out of MacDraw without rebooting
(assuming that you 'Switch'ed into it). 

It's not clear to me whether this is a problem with Switch or with 
MacDraw, or just my version of MacDraw (it's old I know).  Has anyone
else noticed this problem?  Is ther something I can do about it?
