Overview 

This practice introduces different ways to enter a sequence.  A new data frame is the first and easiest way to enter some regular sequences. Once you have a data frame the regular sequence dialog provides more flexibility in the sequences generated. Finally, the slightly more complicated Enter dialog is even more customizable.
