The seed Command

The seed command will reset the internal random number generator.

seed [seed_integer]
The seed_integer, if given, will be used to seed the new random number sequence. This command enables sequences of ``random'' values obtained from functions like rnd and gauss to be repeatable (the default seed is random).
