Sorry, Roger, I guess I forgot about that part. 

Try the script below:

on mouseUp
   put the label of btn "myOptionMenu" into tTrigFunction
   put round(the width of this card/2) into x0
   put  round(the height of this card/2) into y0
   put 60 into Amp
   set the points of grc "myCurve" to empty
   wait 0 millisec -- Force a screen refresh on the Mac
   repeat with i = 1 to 360--maybe with a step of 2 or 4
      put i*pi/180 into tAngle
      switch tTrigFunction
         case "sine"
            put  sin(tAngle ) into y
            break
         case "cosine"
            put cos(tAngle) into y
            break
         case "tangent"
            if i = 90 or i = 90+180 then next repeat
            put tan(tAngle ) into y
            break
      end switch
      put round(Amp*y) into y
      put i into x
      put x+ x0, y+y0 into tPoint
      put tPoint & cr after tPoints
      --Uncomment the following to see the curve evolve
      --      set the points of grc "myCurve" to tPoints
      --      wait 0 millisec
   end repeat
   set the points of grc "myCurve" to tPoints
end mouseUp
