I just spent a few minutes in the 8.0.1 dictionary and did not find it. That thing is useless! Maybe its because I’m new to 8, but where is “any" documented? How in the world does one find it?

What it *actually does* end up generating, is a 16-item string of integers whose sum may or may not fall somewhere within the range 80-120.
