mean:Randomly permutes a set of ``n'' elements. ``n'' must be a positive integer \

  not greater than 1024 in the first usage, or is the number of items in ``list'' in the second\

  usage. <br/>\
11292 bpr 11
  For the first usage, the command returns a comma-separated list ``i<sub>1</sub>, i<sub>2</sub>, ...,\
12
  i<sub>n</sub>'', where the items ``i<sub>k</sub>'' are\
13
  randomly ordered elements of the set ``{1,2,...,n}''. <br/>\

  to randomly permute items, lines, words, or characters in a string. <br/>\
11292 bpr 20
  For the second usage, a new list with randomly permuted items in ``list'' is returned. <br/>\
21
  In any case, the variable ``wims_shuffle_order'' is set to be\
22
  the list ``i<sub>1</sub>, i<sub>2</sub>, ..., i<sub>n</sub>''. <br/>\

  When the optional word ``even'' or ``odd'' is present, only even/odd permutations are produced.
