  Interrupting under 'RAN' on line 24 will produce the     
  next value in a pseudo-random number sequence. This      
  sequence is seeded by the 15 Hz count from the console   
  processor. So, successive entries to the program should  
  produce a different sequence. The default range of values
  is 0 to 999 inclusive. This range can be changed via the 
  utilities window. Random numbers generated in this way   
  are placed in the answer stack.
