[PD] nub question about random numbers

[Claude Heiland-Allen]

"bang"-[random 381]-[- 80]  will give pseudorandom integers between -80
and 300  (inclusive at both ends of the range).  If you want a different
 granularity than whole numbers, you can increase the number given to
[random] and do a multiplication.
