Graphing arcsin(x)

Can someone please tell me how to plot a graph of arcsin(x).  I can plot arccos(x) and arctan(x) using the codes below, but all I get is a blank when I try to plot arcsin.  I read somewhere that postscript only recognizes arctan(x) but I don't know if that is my problem.  As you will see from this code, I am trying to avoid tikz because so much other code is written without it and putting them together just confuses the issue.
Many thanks,
