The register r is not a built in random, and is not very random. (I think 
it just increments and wraps around)
It is the "memory refresh register" used internally.
It could be used as seed to a real random routine like one of those I 
posted before though, but shouldn't be used directly if you want a good random.
Since it is not a random, you cant set its "seed"...
