Yes, that's true, you understood correctly. Oh, wait, that's what's in the help-file! What exactly is cloudy there? If you send a "seed 123" to [random], then on my machine the next random numbers are "3 1 4 0 ..." If I send "seed 123" again, it starts again with "3 1 4 0 ..." If I send "seed 120128", I get "0 1 0 2 2 ..." instead each time afterwards.
