Mentioned only once in one of the tables there. IIRC it was well explained several years back up the log, but has since disappeared.
But I have both figured it out, and had written a workaround before I figured it out. The syntax is: named_var = [var1 MOD var2] Its amazing how educational a single line showing the usage can be, but there is virtually none of that in our docs. That rates a :( IIRC the usual usage of a MOD function is MOD[var1, var2] or sth similar. And some languages even use a % for the MOD function. Also, a feature request: The gcode interpreter should be able to handle true/false but I am forced to use numerical float comparisons for logical IF/ELSE/ENDIF flow control. It works, but it sucks about like an Electrolux vacuum in 1940. :) Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
