[REBOL] Re: RANDOM's & PICK's args

If I am understanding you..
you should only need to seed RANDOM once,
anywhere before you use it,
then yes you could could mess with your source array to
avoid duplication ,and you could check for dups each time you
added a string...
but you also might get lucky...
and if not your target array is smaller so it's better to tweak that
rebol[]
random/seed now
;...
set-size: 6
set: make block! set-size
balls: copy []
for i 1 50 1 [append/only balls rejoin["String " i]]
loop set-size[append/only set pick balls random 50]
set: unique set
while[(length? set) < set-size][
append/only set pick balls random 50
set: unique set
]
