<em>random_matrix</em>creates an &lt;r&gt; by &lt;c&gt; matrix with random 
entries in the range -limit &lt;entry &lt;limit. 
<P>
<P>
Switches: 
<P>
<P>
<em>imaginary</em>:- if on then matrix entries are x+i*y where -limit &lt;x,y 
 &lt;&lt;limit&gt;. 
<P>
<P>
<em>not_negative</em>:- if on then 0 &lt;entry &lt;&lt;limit&gt;. In the imagina
ry 
 case we have 0 &lt;x,y &lt;&lt;limit&gt;. 
<P>
<P>
<em>only_integer</em>:- if on then each entry is an integer. In the imaginary 
		 case x and y are integers. 
<P>
<P>
<em>symmetric</em>:- if on then the matrix is symmetric. 
<P>
<P>
<em>upper_matrix</em>:- if on then the matrix is upper triangular. 
<P>
<P>
<em>lower_matrix</em>:- if on then the matrix is lower triangular.
