if you mean executing commands randomly, then try this:

that will sometimes print hello or bye, both with a 1/5 chance.

or just chance:
guess a number between 1 and 100


rnd(100) will return a number between 0 and 100, so it will be a 1% chance that your number is on the screen. Hope that helps

Actually, random numbers range from 0 to the number that you tell it, so to get a 1 in 5 you need to check 'RND(4)' (0,1,2,3,4) and check for a single number.

Damn, forgot about that. In that case, I'd go: rnd(4)+1, To give a number between 1 and 5, with the actual 5 included, so I dont get confused later.
