Hi:

The @rand function in Lotus 1-2-3 generates numbers such that 0 <
x < 1.  Is there a way to set the beginning seed to a value?  The
purpose is to aid in debugging simulations by getting the same set
of random numbers each time.  I could use the same set of random
numbers by putting all of them in the spreadsheet, but I would
rather generate the same set of random numbers each time.  The
number of random numbers I am using does not lend itself to storing
them.

Thanks,

Tom
