The command "mod(" performs a modulus on two numbers, the same as the MOD
command in BASIC or the % operator in C/C++.  m modulus n will return the
remainder of m divided by n.  The _FPDIV rom call will divide OP1 by OP2 and
return the quotient in OP1 and the remainder in OP2:

   call _op1set4    ; OP1 = 4
   call _op2set3    ; OP2 = 3
   call _FPDIV      ; OP1 / OP2 = 4 / 3
   call _disp_op1   ; disp OP1 = 1.333333333333
   call _op2toop1   ; OP2 -> OP1
   jp _disp_op1     ; disp/return OP2 = 3 (remainder)
