Maybe there's some kind of wireless relay you can get for serial/USB
that
might do the trick in a roundabout way.

Mike, bxDism shows that global SeedPRNG is unreferenced; it seems to be
present whether Rnd is used or not. Is there any reason why I can't use
it as a long var?
It seems to work; is it used by the system anywhere else? Tom

Tom,
Yes I believe if you are not using random numbers then these 4 bytes are
safe to be reused for other purposes. Randomize seems to be the only
routine that writes to this memory location. Here is the BasicX
equivalent code for the system library routine Randomize() when I look
at is with bxDism.
Sub Randomize()
Dim t as Single
t = Timer()
Call BlockMove(4, MemAddressU(t), MemAddressU(sys~mathlibrary.sys~seedprng))
If sys~mathlibrary.sys~seedprng = 0 Then
sys~mathlibrary.sys~seedprng = 1
End If
End Sub
