XCMD's can tell HyperCard to execute HyperTalk routines.
Has anyone examined the speed difference?
For instance if HyperTalk gets this command:
	
	drag from point1 to point2

how would it compare to an equivalent command passed directly
to HyperCard from an XCMD?
I'd just be kinda interested before writing any such XCMD's.

Ant Man!
