     Factor (Text)
 
     The Factor switch, together with the Friction switch, controls how
     quickly PWB executes a fast function. A fast function is a PWB
     function whose action repeats as rapidly as possible while you
     hold down the associated keystroke.
     See: Friction, Fastfunc
 
     Syntax
 
     Factor:{%percent │ -constant} [count]
 
     <percent>    Percentage between 0 and 100 to reduce friction.
 
     <constant>   Constant value between 0 and 65535 to reduce friction.
 
     <count>      Interval between reductions of friction.
 
     PWB reduces friction by <percent> percent or <constant> every
     <count> repetition of a keystroke, until friction is zero.
 
     Default
 
     Factor:%50 10
