I wonder if someone out there could help clear some confusion on my part
concerning gen routines.

I have been staring at the manual for days and I still can't really make
heads or tails of it.

for example (using the toot1 example in the manual)

toot1.orc
  instr1
        a1   oscil   10000,  440, 1
                out a1
  endin

toot1.sco

f1  0  4096  10  1
i1  0  4
e

the manual comments on the f1 as using gen1 to compute a sine wave.   My
question is this sine wave actually becomes part of the sound?  and if this
is the case, why is it NOT included in the *.orc file?   I understood the
*.sco file to be basically the notes to be played, not to further define the
instrument.

thanks   any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
