RANDOMIZE Reseed Random Number Generator
RANDOMIZE [expression]
Supplies a new seed for the pseudo-random number generator.
expression A numeric expression; a seed for the random number
generator.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: If no argument is given, Turbo Basic prompts for a number
between -32768 and 32767. Each random number seed produces
a unique sequence of random numbers, but the same seed
always produces the same sequence.
By replacing expression with TIMER, you could seed pseudo-
random number generator with a value derived from the
current time of day. Another option is to use the MTIMER
function.
