How do I do this in C?
strcpy ( textActor.text, char$(random) );
Thanks in advance.

You can use this code:
sprintf(textActor.text, "%c", 'A'+(int)rand(25));
Where:
'A': is your initial letter
rand(23): will return a value between 0 and 25
So, you can get letters from 'A' to 'A'+25 = 'Z'

What if I have a string "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890"
How do I pick out a single character from the string?
eg: strcpy ( textActor.text, [random character from string] );

Use this:
char *s = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890";
sprintf(text, "%c", s[(int)rand(strlen(s) - 1)]);
