[Coco] What? No MOD?!

You can probably use DEFFN to simulate it. You'd need to involve the INT function and subtraction.

I'm fiddling with the idea of writing a simulator for the M-209 cipher machine (a WW2 era mechanical cipher machine used by US forces; bleed-over from another one of my hobbies) in Basic and porting it to various vintage machines that I have. I was surprised to discover that Basic in the CoCo does not include a modulo arithmetic operator. I'm outraged, I tell you! :)

I might write a Model 100 series version first. The Model 100 Basic has a MOD operator for doing modulo arithmetic.
