In which TI-Basic dialect are you programming?  (Which calculator?)
Also, please wrap your lines to 60 characters when using the mailing
list.  My guess is that you need to check the options in Outlook.

A mod B  ==  B*fPart(A/B)     in TI-83 Basic

Of course, if you're just doing modulus 2, you can skip the multiplication
step and just write

:previous number -> A
:If fPart(.5A:Then
:  something
:Else
:  something else
:End
