HELP This note is about HotPaws BASIC programming for iPod touch.
Thanks to motivation from Tom Lake my understanding has improved
exponentially. Never the less I am stuck on the function written as
the statement:- 20 plot1(0,"sin(x)","x","0",0,pi,100), within the
brackets there are 7 values, and all must be present.
The first zero can be incremented to 4, this sets the graphic
background. The last value sets the number of points that will be
plotted. The middle "0" has no purpose. The pi can be made into
multiples which repeat the graph as in 2*pi, or 3*pi. The fifth value
or 0 can be changed but I have not found it's purpose? Then there are
two "x"s, the second x may be a y or y=x? But then may be not?
Anyone know how to work the function?
My second challenge is to find a way to PAUSE a program in basic? Some
may call it a DELAY. If such a command is missing in HotPaws for iPod
then maybe a statement can be written to create a calculation that
takes time to complete, a sort of pseudo pause?

The value after "x" is for another variable, usually "y" as in the following 
program

10 fxy$ = "100*sin(x^2+y^2)"
20 n = 32
30 fn plot1(n, fxy$, "x", "y", -3,3, n)

This gives a 3D plot.

As for a delay, HotPaw has no delay command built in but try this:

sound 20000,n,0

where n is the number of seconds you want to delay.  SOUND
will make a 0 volume sound for that long (you won't hear it)
