ok this is only theory but couldnt you just
1)call the sub proram with jsr from the main one
2)have the sub choose a random number and depending on the number choose 
the background
3)draw the background and return bakck to the main one?
4)keep the background in memory and redraw it when you need to or like save 
the area you write over so when your text changes you can restore the 
background

i dont know how to do all this stuff but...
