PROGRAM FILEINFO

Get(Arg.) FileName Else
  Crt 'File : ':; Input FileName
  If FileName = '' Then STOP
End

Open FileName To FL Else
  Crt 'Cannot open ':FileName
  STOP
End
Status FStat From FL Else
  Crt 'Cannot stat ':FileName
  STOP
End

FileType = FStat<21>
FileMod  = FStat<22>
FileSep  = FStat<23>
FileSize = FStat<6>
Crt FileName, 'Type = ':FileType, 'Mod = ':FileMod, 'Sep = ':FileSep,'Size =
':FileSize
STOP

Are all the keys sequential?
If so, a simple program to do a Randomize then assemble a list of random
numbers between the min and max values of the key would be easiest. Just
write that list to &SAVEDLISTS& and then GET.LIST it.

Otherwise you can use SAMPLE or SAMPLED but that's not really randomized as
such..
