Ah!  MOD
 one of the commands that some writers didn't think the MDL 100  could do
 MOD
  
MOD gives you the remainder after integer division
  huh?
  OK..your example.....x1 = 300 MOD 256    x1 = 44  
  because 300/256 = 1 with a remainder of 44  
  
try     PRINT  300 MOD 7   and you'll get  6
   because 300/7 = 42 with a remainder of 6
   
try simpler stuff like 35 MOD 8 and you should get 3

MOD is easier than   X - (Y*(FIX(X/Y))) to get the remainder
  
sometimes you want the fraction, or the cents, or the remainder (like when
you're converting decimal to binary) Show me a program to take a decimal number
X between 0 and 255 and display it in binary  0000 0000 to 1111 1111.
