Random record opening the file

I have an easy question I just don't know how to script it.

I want my fm file to open with a random record each time I open a window named (quotes)

so every time the window quotes opens I would like to go to a random record in the records that I have.

I can see I would have to do a find all records

And probably have a global file for a number

But I would just like to go to a random record number.,

I have seen how to do that here but with filemaker 5.

It has different code to do that now,

Thanks
