I forgot to say that in addition to seed = rand(1:10000) I then do srand(seed)...which does allow me to reproduce the results. As I was saying, it seems like a clumsy way of doing things, and I wish I could just grab the seed that the repl generates on startup, but it appears that's not what people do.
srand(52) or srand(11)... doesn't really work for me since I'm running this script simultaneously over many different works and don't want to manually chance the seed each time I call the script. Cheers, Ethan
