huh... random numbers?

Hi the list, Hahem! I asked few days ago about a possibly built-in function giving random or pseudo-random numbers... And received no answer. Why it is so? Is it a trivial FAQ? I checked in GPC info and there is nothing for random but this: * GPC notes:: Random notes about GPC. And for rand, there is nothing but OPErand :) So if it is a FAQ it is well hid. It is by no means a tricky or complicated question, may be it is taboo? Dunno... Don't understand! So heretically I ask again if GPC is providing such a function. Cheers. F.P.L
