Interestingly, on OS X and Linux, you can read from "/dev/random" and get crypto-quality random numbers:

      put "/dev/random" into tFile
      open file tFile for binary read
      read from file tFile for 1000 uint4
      put it into tRandNums
      close file tFile

will get you a comma delimited list of 1000 numbers bewteen 0 and 2 ^ 32.

I can't find anything similar on Windows, but maybe one of Ken's crafty VB scripts can get at the relevant OS API call "CryptGenRandom".
