What's wrong:
Ranges specified in a plot command don't work.
Using 'plot [-10:10] sin(x)' complains about the colon, saying it should
be a comma. Using a comma causes an infinite loop.

Question:
How do you specify ranges in xmath ([10:20] doesn't work, xmath returns saying
comma is expected in place of the colon. A comma there sends the program off int
o an error loop with no recovery except ctrl-Z)

I am checking the documentation on Xmath, just a minute.

Subject: Your OLC question about xmath
--------
To set ranges on the plot window, you can use the "setup axes" button in
the graph window, to adjust things to your liking.
You should also be able to set the axes by using the range
specifications as you indicated in your question; that is clearly a bug.
I will send a report about the bug.
Thank you for using OLC.
