The neat thing about USR was that if I recall correctly it would pass the start address in BC, and return what value you placed in BC when it went back to BASIC.

I could have sworn the ROM spelled it RANDOMISE with the UK spelling though.

It was the French RANDOMISE in Sinclair SuperBASIC on the QL and the ZX80/81. The Speccy used the Oxford spelling RANDOMIZE.
