NAME
     
     randm - get numbers from the RANDOM.ORG random number service.


SYNOPSIS
     
     randm [MIN] [MAX] [NUM]

          
DESCRIPTION
     
     randm simplifies Richard Frankel's original random command by using 
     positional parameters-- Thanks fuska.  Just enter the lesser (minimum) 
     number followed by the greater (maximum) number to get a random number 
     that is between them.

     It returns only one number by default, but you have the option to specify 
     how many random numbers with an additional parameter.


EXAMPLES
     
     Example: randm
     Result:  error: the max must be greater than the min parameter

     Example: randm 1 10
     Result:  Returns a random number between 1 and 10.

     Example: randm 1 10 3
     Result:  Returns 3 random numbers between 1 and 10.
