Yeah, i like the KISS principle, keep it short and simple. ;-)

If you want to choose then it is not randomly. You're asking for a dark light.

You want to choose because you don't like the tagline, don't you? If you don't 
like a tagline then remove it from your tagline config then there is no need to 
select another. Easy, isn't it?

To work around you could use the file import function. Press ALT-i with default 
config in the editor. Select "File as Text" and choose your tagline file. 
Delete the unwanted taglines.

Or to go back to the KISS principle, what about RTFM?

        Taglines are usually one-liner jokes or wisdom or whatever. They serve
        absolutely no technical function and are considered by some to be
        waste of diskspace and modem time. In some conferences, they may even
        be forbidden by the moderator, so if you want to use this feature,
        check the conference rules first!

        The tagline support in GoldED is currently not very advanced. You can
>       define some global taglines and manually select them from a menu,
        like you can with origins.

According to my reference docs it should be CTRL-I.
(Doesn't work here i think because taglinesupport no.)

If the system works like the origin system then you could have some kind of 
sub-menus in the selection window. I have some single ORIGIN lines in the 
config and then a reference mark to a different file:

ORIGIN " Monobox "
ORIGIN "You did it!"
ORIGIN "Seven holy path to hell"
ORIGIN "Ride the sky!"
ORIGIN @/golded/origin/origins.full.txt

That shows up as:

.............. Origins ............
..  Monobox                       .
.. You did it!                    .
.. Seven holy path to hell        .
.. Ride the sky!                  .
.. [origins.full.txt]             .
...................................

where [origins.full.txt] can be selected and reveals the full list.
Within the random system you could use the full list as a reference.

If the tagline system does work the same way then you could create some kind of 
quick access list to your favorite selections.
