R help - Aug 2005 - specify seed for Random Number Generator

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?

Try set.seed()

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