Drawing a line in LC7

[Richard Gaskin]

Ah - thanks.  I haven't even seen a comma-only use of points since my 
old SuperCard days, so I didn't know LC supported that format.

But since the docs says that form is supported, and it used to work in 
earlier versions, clearly it's a bug.

I've submitted the report for you:
