Dear Kendog,
Bearer of the news A clutch that engages near the top of its travel (almost all the way out) is adjusted incorrectly. (should be about an inch and a quarter of play before the operator feels the pressure of release. But!!!! in that adjustment position, the travel of the clutch mechanism is near the maximum. This means that when the pedal is pushed all the way in, the clutch is even more released than when adjusted correctly. If your clutch is dragging, (as indicated in your post) adjustment will not fix it. The pilot bearing may be binding (possible) or the disc may be warped causing drag when pedal is depressed. Ive also seen rusted up splines on the input shaft to the trans cause dragging. In all these cases the clutch needs to be repaired (not impossibly hard, just a little strange). Follow the book.
