How would I program a random selection in Baja? I want to display random one-liners at logon to my users. I don't care if I have to program the one-liners into the baja .src file, I just want it simple.

Thanks,

Get the BAJA documentation and look for the section on SWITCH/CASE which gives as an example, a small fragment of code that does random selections. Expand on this to your hearts content.

compare_ars RANDOM 3 (or whatever you want)
if_true
printfile "x:\shit.txt"
end_if
compare_ars random 3
if_true
printfile "x:\shit2.txt"
end_if
# fallthrough
printfile "x:\shit3.txt"
goto duh
:duh
# oops, i forgot to put a "goto duh " before each end_if
# ah well, might/might not be applicable

you can also use random with an interger, but this way is easy
