Eh, heh.
So how do I get a modulus in Apple basic? The answer is not 'MOD' or '%'.
ok

"A MOD B" can be had through
"A-INT(A/B)*B" (at least for positive

I'd wondered if some sort of type casting could be used, but the sum total
of my BASIC comes from writing programmes on TRS-80 that I used to make
the neighbours think I was breaking into the school computers and changing
their grades. (: Lots of INPUTs and PRINTs and GOTOs but not much more.
The BASIC on my Convergent has MOD and TI Extended BASIC has the
functionality even if I can't remember the keyword, so .. well, there it
is.
Thanks.

I don't remember - is there an INT function in Apple basic? If so, it
would be easy to do (I only used 4 variables for clarity):
A = the number
B = the number you're dividing by
C = the result of division
D = the modulus
C = INT(A/B)
D = A - C * B
Viola! D is the result of A mod B!
