The MacTerminal file may be too big. Use Edit instead of MacWrite, get the
current version of MacWrite that can swap to disk, find the Basic program
floating around that cuts large files into pieces, or write your own.

It might also be that the MacTerminal file contains some odd characters that
freak out MacWrite. I don't know if MacWrite is sensitive to garbage; Edit
certainly is. Again you could write a program to read the file and
delete any bizarre characters (anything = 127)
or convert them into something printable.
