Dear Daniel,

Thanks a lot for the hint. This works OK, as well as somebody else's idea to use
   foo = rand(42)

Not that many people care about setting random seed, but it might make
sense to add a tiny note next to "help rand" about the usage (for
those of us who are not so familiar with syntactic rules).

Thanks,
   Mojca
