Regarding the random function in HyperCard.  Are you sure your calling
random with the proper argument?  I haven't had any problems getting
random number in my script or directly from the msg box.
random(5) generates a random number between 1 and 5 etc...
I didn't notice any problem under HC2.0 or 2.0v2.  
Good luck
