Seed of Random number generation

Dear all, is it possible to extract the seed that was used for some random number generation? For example suppose I draw a random sample of size 1000 from a normal population : rnorm(1000) Now I want to know what seed R used for that sample generation. Any way out? Thanks and regards,
I believe R creates a random seed after a random number generation function such as rnorm is called. The seed is stored in the vector .Random.seed . See ?RNG for more info on how to load, save and tweak the random seed. ----- Charlie Sharpsteen Undergraduate Environmental Resources Engineering Humboldt State University
