While waiting for replies (they were there, but I had screwed up the Gmail filter for them and they missed the inbox), I thought I'd just avoid the need to split, and enter n and m separately. I also added the ability to get another random int in the same closed interval, without reentering n and m. See this effort at <http://tutoree7.pastebin.com/QKvkGiXd>. Now I'll dig into all the help I received. I see an *args in Steven's detailed reply. That'll take some reviewing to understand. Thanks VERY much!
