In

DifEq

graphing mode, draws the solution to a set of

differential equations stored in the

Q'

variables

specified by xAxisVariable and yAxisVariable. If
direction fields are off (

FldOff

is selected), the initial

values must be stored also.

After the solution is drawn,

DrEqu(

waits for you to

move the cursor to a new initial value and press b
to draw the new solution.

You then are prompted to press

Y

(to specify another

initial value) or

N

(to stop).

For the last-drawn solution, the

x

,

y

, and

t

values

(beginning at their initial values) are stored to xList,
yList

, and tList, respectively.
