of course after I wrote that I realized that was wrong. No reason that a
list of procedures couldn't have duplicates in it.

I thnik you ned to take alook at this statement George.  I don;t believe
you want that ' - 1'.  Run tour code like:

make "foo [ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9]
repeat count :foo [make "foo TrueRemRandomFrom :foo show :foo]

You'll see that the last element from the list is never selected.
If you remove the ' - 1' it seems to work ok.
