Give this a go. rejigged the particle setup a little just to prove it works:

set cut_paste_input [stack 0]
version 6.3 v5
push $cut_paste_input
ParticleEmitter {
 start_frame 128
 lifetime 100
 velocity 0.065
 spread 0.5
 name ParticleEmitter6
 selected true
 xpos -58
 ypos -90
}
ParticleWind {
 to {0 0 0}
 drag 0.16
 "air resistance" true
 name ParticleWind1
 selected true
 xpos -58
 ypos -64
}
ParticleExpression {
 sizeexpr mag(vel)
 name ParticleExpression1
 selected true
 xpos -58
 ypos -9
}
