Happy Christmas, Bob!

Try this:

on mouseStillDown
  if the altKey is down then
    put the rect of me into tRect
    put the mouseH into item 3 of tRect
    put the mouseV into item 4 of tRect
    set the rect of me to tRect
  end if
end mouseStillDown

This is kind of crude (i.e. it doesn't take into account the different in
offset from the bottom-right of the field and the location of the mouse),
but you get the idea.
