speed
Description
Configures PTC ALD to the speed of your system. This mainly affects mouse operations, particularly in Graphics Mode, and can be thought of as the amount of time PTC ALD will take before updating a graphic. Ideally, this should be just longer than the amount of time you need to draw the next part of a continuous line using the Straight Line tool.
Example 246. Set system speed
You can change the speed to suit your particular preference or machine, using the macro below. The change will be reflected in the in the startup.3ad system file:
speed 3000
As a guide, a value of about 3000 is appropriate for a 350Mhz machine.
Syntax
speed delay:n

delay
|
A delay factor, typically in the range 1000 to 40000. The faster your machine, the higher your delay factor should be. If the value is too low then you will not be able to perform up-down clicks with the mouse. If the value is too high there will be unacceptable delays, especially after some graphics operations.
