VS_Random()          Returns a random integer

Description:

  VS_Random() will return a random number based on the parameters you
  pass it.

Syntax:     

  n_Random = VS_Random( n_Max, n_Seed )

Pass:       

  n_Max is the maximum number that VS_Random() will generate

  n_Seed is a random number seed that VS_Random() will use to make
  sure the number is truly "random".  i.e. A computer is really
  incapable of generating a truly "random" number.  It must perform some
  algorithm on a specified number to generate what appears to be a
  "random".  By allowing the programmer to provide a "random number
  seed" each program has the ability to have a slightly different
  alogrithm and therefore VS_Random() will generate a slightly different
  number.

Return:     

  n_Random is a random integer between 0 and n_Max

Notes:      


Example:    

  ? VS_RANDOM(100,23456)     // Will supply a random integer between 0
  and 100.

Usage:
