I still am not able to get the rise/fall of the wave to be as visible as the verticle lines:

In this picture I'm using a P6105A probe. I've tried cranking the timebase but that doesn't seem to change anything. Should I get an audio wave generator?

Now I'm a real amateur but:
I'm guessing that the horizontal lines are just really not perfectly stable voltage (vertically)...if you increase the sweep a lot you might see or analyze a higher frequency or noise riding on it, fuzzing it up. But the vertical rise/fall are sharp because it's nicely frequency-stable and duty-cycle-stable and you're triggering on it. And it's working just beautifully. It's triggering on one nice vertical line, and the others are always precisely the same. You don't want a broad bright fuzzy line, the fine sharp line is a good thing.
