   Have just discovered, via Windows "Calculator", and the ever-useful book   
   "QBasic by Example" (pg.114), that MOD, and Backslash (\), are   
   math.operators in QBasic.  Otherwise you end up with decimal places all over   
   the screen.   
       MOD gives an integer Remainder; Backslash, division of Integer only.   
   Quite useful in base-to-base conversion.   
      (I assume "Lsh" button on "Calculator" applies only to binary numbers?)
