I stand corrected. Indeed my TS 4 manual (1995) does say that. I
must have last looked at an earlier manual, probably SC4 which Bill Cruz
gave me to show that typos were no longer an issue (unfortunately the
copy he gave me was full of typos).
My TS 3.5 manual says:
"Assuming that Value1 is 8, the following returns 0.9893582466,
the sine of Value1: Sine(Value1)"
Nice to see they've corrected that error in the 4.0 manual.
