- randomcopy FROM prefs:presets/patterns/~(#?.info) TO env:sys/wbpattern.prefs
-
- When executed in your startup-sequence, a random pattern would be
- selected for the workbench. This could also be a palette, pointer, or
- set of fonts.

- A minor update to fix a random seed problem. A seed can be saved to
- the S: directory by specifing a "RNDFILE" keyword on the command
- line. This is to get a better random-ness to users without an
- internal clock.
