item random() (was Random(3) often returns 1)

There is something problematic involved in referencing a function 
result as a variable inline in a statement.  I have encountered 
instances in other handlers where logic something like:

	add functionY(aValue) to anotherVariable

	get mod(functionZ(anotherValue),2)

	send "doWhatUDo"&&functionX(value1,value2) to button buttonName

failed to produce the correct result.  Generally, if not always, 
evaluating the function into a variable and then referencing the 
variable works.  I've never tracked down the "why"; but the fix seems 
to work reliably.

If anyone is curious, you might try:

	    add 1 to x[(random(3))]

	    add 1 to x[value(random(3))

	    add 1 to x[(value(random(3)))

	    add 1 to item (random(3)) of myCounter]

	    add 1 to item value(random(3)) of myCounter

	    add 1 to item (value(random(3))) of myCounter
