Tangent Intersect

This command creates a point at the tangential intersection from a point to another point and distance. This command prompts for a base point and then the distance. Next there is a prompt for the second point. Since there are two possible tangential solutions on the circle from the base point, the program displays the two possible solutions and prompts for which one to use. To choose the solution, pick close to the solution point.
