I'm not sure what you're after here, but what I think you're saying is
that you want a different EdgeResistance setting based on whether you're
mousing there or in the process of moving a window?
I don't know whether this is possible or not, but it seems very
plausible, and handy. I thought EdgeScroll was for how /much/ to move a
window.
I may be way off. I've yet to consume my coffee.
