Plots and ModifyGraph command

Hi all,

I'm trying to generate a plot from two separate 2D waves with respect to their x-scaling in a for-loop. It currently looks something like this:
Display
for (bb = 0; bb < num_cols; bb += 1)
    AppendToGraph :wave1[][bb]
    AppendToGraph :wave2[][bb]
    ModifyGraph mode(wave2)=2,lsize(wave2)=3,rgb(wave2)=(1,16019,65535)
endfor
The above is currently not doing what I'd like to see - which is, wave1 plotted in the default trace appearances, and wave2 modified as per the ModifyGraph line, for ALL values of bb. What I'm seeing now is it's only happening for the final value of bb.

When doing this manually, I learnt that one can add the # to modify each trace name (?) from the following in the IGOR manual: "More precisely, traceName is a wave name, optionally followed by the # character and an instance number. For example, "mode(myWave#1)=4"." Not really getting it - adding "#bb" does not work.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you

I just tried a do-while loop as well:

bb = 0
do
Display
    AppendToGraph :wave1[][bb]
    AppendToGraph :wave2[][bb]
    ModifyGraph mode(wave2)=2,lsize(wave2)=3,rgb(wave2)=(1,16019,65535)
bb += 1
while (bb < num_cols)

But this resulted in an infinite loop...?

    wave wave1=wave1
    variable bb = 0, num_cols=dimsize(wave1,1)
    string s_trace
    Display // make a graph window before looping
    do
        s_trace="MyTraceName"+num2str(bb)
        AppendToGraph wave1[][bb] /TN=$s_trace
        ModifyGraph mode($s_trace)=2,lsize($s_trace)=3,rgb($s_trace)=(1,16019,65535)
        bb += 1
    while (bb < num_cols)
