I recently purchased Mathematica 5.0, and I am in the process of 
learning how to take advantage of it's many features.

This is an example of one line I would like to calculate in Mathematica:

Plot3D[Sqrt[y-x],{x,-100,100},{y,-100,100}];


How can I best edit this line to make y always greater than or equal to x during 
calculation so the program doesn't try to take the square root of a 
negative number?

Any help will be appreciated.
