You can use a bit of math to get a random value to fit into a specific range, here's how I do it:

[code]
result = rVal // 26
result = result + 5
[/code]

Remember that SX/B only allows one operator per line, so it takes two lines to do what you might do in one with PBASIC.  The first line takes the modulus of your random value, returning a result of 0 to 25 (the span of your range).  The next line bumps the minimum and maximum points to re-align to your desired output.
