Hi, I am a recent user (1 month) of TP 5.5.  The first project with TP will
be a discrete event simulator.  I (already) have two problems, both caused
by a lack of information in the manuals:

-1- Which pseudo random number is used by TP?  It is a multiplicative
    linear congruential generator, but I can't determine its parameters.

-2- Is there a utility to display the interface section of a unit? I
    suspect the .DOC file of a .TPU file to be incomplete, but I like to
    check it.

I'd appreciate any help,
  Wim J. M. Nelis
