Shuffle problem

Hi;

  Is there a way to get Mathematica 6.01 to randomly shuffle a list: Is there a built in command that I am blind to?

For example:

{t,t,t,h,h,h}  would become something like {t,h,h,t,t,h}

The lists are of arbitrary length. I wrote my own function but it is kind of slow.

Thanks;
Angela
