Well, try..

"9*(SQ(90-C)/1225-SQ(50-R)/324)+20)"
Define C and R in the list of variables (OA-3 [?]), then link them to the 3D
graph by pushing the 'X Var' and 'Y Var' buttons in the 3D control window.
Don't forget to use 'Autoscaling'. For proper C/R values I guess you have to
find some useful values yourself. (BTW, if you are autoscaling graphs, you can
omit the 9*(..) in the formula.)

Oh, and if it works...THANKS A LOT FOR THE SHAREWARE FEE...<gr>

Enter 

"20*SIN(4*x)"
Define the variable "x" (highlight the "x" in the formula, then push OA-+) and
highlight it in the list. Symbolix always assumes that you have highlighted the
independent variable when creating 2D graphs.

Have fun,

PS: I will upload the manual next week to grind.isca.uiowa.edu (same directory)
