set [the] dragSpeed to posInteger The
dragSpeed property returns or sets how many pixels per second the pointer will move when manipulated by all subsequent drag commands. Use 0 to drag as fast as possible. The
dragSpeed affects all of the paint tools except the Bucket and Text tools. On idle, HyperCard resets the
dragSpeed to 0. Examples
set the dragSpeed to 0
set the dragSpeed to 100
