Well, academically, it's not a good way to do it, but seing as how the
default value is 2 and you want to set bit 1 (thus needing a final value
of 3) this seems perfectly adequate. So long as you do the DragASpr fx
call before changing any config. that uses the rest of these bits, you aren't
doing any harm, and as this is a RISC OS 3.10 specific call, it seems
like a perfectly acceptable 'hack' to turn DragASpr on for the one time
in your life that it's necessary.

And what do these other bits do? More important than the 'proper' way to
set the bits, is to say "Here's a really convenient way to set the bits, but
note that they will corrupt your ??? configurations"

I mean, is there *anyone* out there whose byte has a value other than 2 or 3?

And why isn't there a toggle in !Configure to do it "properly" anyway?

Geez... it's like giving a guy a box of nails and no hammer, and then
wondering why he's using a rock to hit the nails with... ;-)
