What is the purpose of this and how do you use it to speed your game?

Drag to Flag enables playing the game with only a 1 button mouse - no 2nd button or keyboard. It's for casual play. It most likely will slow your game.

However you don't HAVE to flag (mark gems) , technicaly all you need to do is find every safe square.

The folks that are crazy fast at minesweeper don't flag very often. I on the other hand have a need to flag

If you have a two button mouse on your mac, you'll find that the fastest way to flag, if you feel more comfortable marking.

I can't get my selection to stay de-selected, bug or what?

To flag or unflag using the drag method, you need to click- drag and let go.

It won't stick until you let up on the mouse button.

From the Options screen, I de-select (uncheck) drag to flag. Drag to flag is disabled while I play the game. I exit the game to do something else.

When I run the game again (whether the same day or a different day and whether I reboot or not), no matter which of the 3 games I play, drag to flag is enabled, and the entry is checked when I look at the Options screen.

I've un-installed the game, cleaned the registry to remove all entries for Dangerous Mines, re-booted, defragged, re-booted again and then re-installed the game.

The result is the same. Drag to Flag is only disabled if I go to Options and de-select it. When the game is run again, it is selected again.

Great game! One of my favorites!
