[pstricks] state of the random generator

[jmpapy]

Herbert, in the piece of code :
\pstVerb{
rrand srand % initializes the random generator
}

you initializes the random generator. When I LaTeX the document I always 
obtain the same sequence. Therefore I conclude that I start with the 
same initial state every time. This point is OK to me.

But in order to obtain a different sequence I would want to manually set 
another initial state. How can I proceed ?

thanks,
JM
