Grapher is a replacement for the much better Graphing Calculator that used
to be bundled with all PowerMacs.  Graphing Calculator is still available
(now both Mac and Windows) and still much better than Grapher, and easily
worth $60 (heck, it's worth ten times that much).  You will not have any
trouble learning Grpahing Calculator using your current methods, but there
is also a great help section and a very good pdf document to boot.
Graphing Calculator is in the top five software applications I've ever seen
in 30 years of computing.
