There have been references to the Random information in the User Guide
from the Reference Guide, all along.  In fact in two places in the
Reference Guide:

1) On the main page:

 http://www.santafe.edu/projects/swarm/swarmdocs/set/book930.html

 "Important: The probe, random and technical appendices formerly part
      of the Reference Guide for Swarm have been removed and relocated
      to the new Swarm User Guide (http://www.swarm.org)."

2) In the introductory section for the Random library:

 
http://www.santafe.edu/projects/swarm/swarmdocs/set/swarm.random.sgml.reference.html

  "3.2. Usage Guide for Beginners, Advanced Usage Guide and Guide to
   Generators and Distributions. All these sections have been
   relocated to the Swarm User Guide"

Granted, they don't link directly to the section in the Guide,
because, at the time this was produced, we didn't have the exact URL
to the new User Guide, but it should be straightforward to find the
User Guide under Documentation.  I'll add the direct link to the
section in the User Guide now that we have an absolute URL.
