I'm trying to obtain the following:

A 30 column x 1000 row table of normal distribution of random item responses
ranging from 1-4.

I'm not sure how to control the "Normal" output of the # generator, and I
can't figure out how to generate only natural numbers (no decimals). I can
format the numbers to 0 decimal places, but the "truth" of the numberis still
listed as 3.1223.. which isn't a response option on my tests. (that's a joke)
