multiple

set [the]

 multiple to trueOrFalse

The multiple property returns or sets whether HyperCard draws multiple images when the user (or a handler) drags with a Paint tool. It corresponds to the Draw Multiple command in the Options menu (which appears when you select a Paint tool).

The multiSpace property affects the number of multiple shapes drawn.

The multiple property affects the Line, Rectangle, Rounded Rectangle, Oval, and Regular Polygon tools. Its default value is false.
