Move to the points

[Richmond]

Usual nonsense: replying to my own postings:

The problem lies in my relying on put (KOUNT * 10) into LYNE

to supply me with continuous line numbers for my listField, now sorted out:

on mouseUp
    put empty into fld "f1"
    put 0.1 into KOUNT
    put 1 into LYNE
    repeat until KOUNT > 12.6
       put ( ( ((sin (KOUNT)) * (cos (KOUNT)) ) * 300) + 400) into LR
       put ((((cos (KOUNT)) ) * 300) +400) into TB
       put (LR & "," & TB) into line LYNE of fld "f1"
       add 0.1 to KOUNT
       add 1 to LYNE
    end repeat
    set the points of grc "c1" to fld "f1"
end mouseUp

The IDE did not help with its cryptic message.
