MOD is dividing and only keeping the fractional part of the result. So 6
MOD 3 is 0, because 6 / 3 = 2 with no fraction. This is often helpful
when you need to know if something is even or odd ( x MOD 2) or if
something is a multiple of a particular number ( x MOD 8, multiple of 8)
I think mod is short for modulus operandum?

Wouldn't this power down the calculator?

I think this will return the current cursor position. Where exactly, I'm
not sure.
