   = DISTANCE( [x1], [y1] TO [x2], [y2] )

The DISTANCE function calculates the geometric distance between two points. The distance is calculated with the application of the Pythagorean theorem, the result of which is however returned with the nnly integer part. If any component is omitted, the last screen position is used, instead.

  result = DISTANCE( x1, y1 TO x2, y2 )
