I need to generate 100 I.I.D samples from an exponential distribution. I use rexp(100,parameter). Is there anyway to specify a seed to determine the first input for the uniform random number generator used to generate these exponentials? -Dhiren

Try set.seed()

Have you considered "set.seed"? This was listed with the first hit
for 'RSiteSearch("random number seed")'.
