Thank's Werner. I'd actually delved into the code for the magic value anyway. I have included this in all the other implementations of example 21 since plseed is not tested anywhere else. This showed up bugs in the f77 and f95 bindings to plseed which I have also fixed. I've also documented plrandd and plseed in api.xml. They were currently missing, which was how they had got missed off when I checked the api coverage in the examples recently. I should probably go back to plplot.h to ensure the documentation is complete.
