Quoting from the forum guidelines:
"Include as much detail in your questions as you can to make it easier for us to help you."
I would also advise you to be considerate and not use all capital letters. The best way to make us respect you is if you respect us and our time.
However I will still try my best to help.
The QBasic function 'RND' returns a number somewhere between 0 and 1. To obtain a random integer between two arbitrary integers, say LOW and HIGH such that LOW is the smallest one possible and HIGH is the largest one possible, we use the general formula
INT( RND * (HIGH - LOW + 1) ) + LOW
For example, a number between 4 and 8:
INT( RND * (8 - 4 + 1) ) + 4
or
INT( RND * 5 ) + 4
If you are using an array of cards, DO NOT use random cards; rather place the cards in order and then shuffle them by using the SWAP command. (I.e. swap each card with a random card.)
PRINT CHR$(3)
(and 4, 5, 6) should produce the symbols for card suits.
If you want more help, please, provide as much information as you can and be polite.

Don't be too patronising, homeloaf. You never know what kind of disabilities people may actually have. And forum etiquette isn't obvious to some of those who are new to this.

I portray a mentally deficient individual in the up-coming play at our school. We're doing "The Boys Next Door," by Tom Griffith. I'm Lucien P. Smith. It's pretty cool.
The hard part isn't taking it seriously, as you might think. The hard part is not killing people who don't.
As to forum etiquette, I won't quarrel there. I've done some pretty stupid stuff as well. NewForQbasic, don't be discouraged. My mocking was inappropriate, and I whole heartedly welcome you into our online community.

Well, I deleted it, hopefully before s/he saw it.

I didn't even think of that. Thx for attempting to save me some embarrassment, and perhaps not scarzing (si, scarzing) away another user.
