Somebody recently mentioned the function RangeRand in amiga.lib.  I
used it in a program and it turns out that each time I run the program
it generates the same random sequence.   What is the function in
amiga.lib that initializes the random seed?  What parameters does it
need?  I've looked through the original RKMs (the big white telephone
books) but there's no information on amiga.lib.

ADVthanksANCE (Thanks in advance),
