IS it possible to DIM "num" so that you get

EXP. num(1)=6 num(2)=5 num(3)=8 etc.

Use the Knuth (or Fisher-Yates) shuffle:

Code:
      DIM num(10)
      FOR I% = 1 TO 10
        num(I%) = I%
      NEXT I%
      FOR I% = 10 TO 2 STEP -1
        SWAP num(I%),num(RND(I%))
      NEXT I%
      FOR I% = 1 TO 10
        PRINT "num("; I%; ") = "; num(I%)
      NEXT I%
