Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I'll go with:
on mouseUp local theNums put "1,2,3,4,5,6" into theNums sort items of theNums numeric by random(1000000) repeat with i = 1 to 6 do "whatever" & item i of theNums end repeat end mouseUp This is probably erroneous but possibly the right general idea. There are better ways to do it, no doubt. The advantage is I'll understand it if I have to work on it again.
