I you have downloaded theese, you can get an intro in the blue book,
and look up the operators in the ref.manual, ch.8.
This:
0 1 360 5 mul { cos 0.01 mul 0.002 add .01 exch rlineto } for stroke
draws the function:
y = 0.01 * sin(t) + 0.002 * t
x = 0.01 * t
for t = 0 to 360*5, in steps of 1 (i.e. t = 0, 1, 2, ... 1800)
360 5 mul
give us 360*5 = 1800
cos(t)
is the cosinus of the angle t in degrees, so t = 0 to 360*5
means from 0° to five whole turns
but since "rlineto" adds incrementally, the curve looks like the
integral of cos (i.e. sin)
a b c { ... } for
do the ... for the values a, a+b, a+2*b, ..., as long as the value <= c
