What were you trying to do?
	run the "bench35" command. 

What's wrong:
	rand('uniform'), rand('seed',0)
	??? Error using ==> rand
	Unknown command option.

	Error in ==> /mit/matlab_v5.3/distrib/toolbox/contrib/misc/bench35.m
	On line 32  ==> rand('uniform'), rand('seed',0)

What should have happened:
     	It shouldn't have crashed.  Well, just the function crashed,
     	not matlab.  (I never know what to say at this line). 

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	help rand doesn't mention rand('uniform') as an option, so I
	assume that's what it's complaining about.   If I take out
	that bit of the line and rerun, it runs okay (though I don't
	actually know if it's doing the right thing or not...)
