15.4 Setting the seed in decimal

For network size, n <=32, if if ``d`` (or default) is selected in #15.1, the seed can be specified by its decimal equivalent. The following prompt is presented,

decimal seed, enter 0-16363 (default-random): (example for n=14)

If just ``return'' is entered at this prompt, or a number outside the permitted range, the selection will revert to ``random'' as (#15.5) below. When selected, the seed is also shown as a bit pattern (in 1d or 2d) and in hex.
