OK, I think I understand from your description -- thank you, and thanks
to Steve as well!

What I'm slightly perturbed about is that this seems a slightly
complicated way to have to write code that uses an unspecified random
number generator -- is there a better way to do the whole RNG thing that
I'm missing?

Thanks again and best wishes,
