Searching on code.jsoftware.com instead of just jsoftware.com gives better results.
Specifically, it tells me that rand11 comes from 'stats/base/random' (or I can just load 'stats/base' - if you open 'stats/base' you'll see why). Once loaded, I can type rand11 into the session and it will show me the definition. It might be reasonable to expect someone to use code.jsoftware.com to see jsoftware code?
