  this discussion has been addressed many times.. be sure to check
  the archives at www.escribe.com. however, to answer your question.
  yes.. there is a random number generator:

    Int16 SysRandom(UInt32 seed);

  pass 0 to use the last seed yadda yadda yadda.. but, before someone
  else bites my head of about it "not being a true random function",
  there may be better alternatives to write your own or use the provided
  one if it suits your needs (80% of the time, this is the case).

  cheers.
