I have need for a verb like residue | but which returns the mod value 
instead of 0.  For example, instead of 9 10 11 0 1 2 3 4... for a mod 
value of 12, it will return 9 10 11 12 1 2 3 4....  I can do it easily 
for a single datum, but I can't see how to do it in one fell swoop for 
a whole list of data.

I have specific applications in mind, so the verb needs to look 
something like this:  modvalue verb datalist;offset  (although the 
modvalue x argument could just as easily be among the y arguments).

A specific example might be:   12  verb  datalist;9
This would return the values in the first paragraph above.

I had been thinking along these lines:

   mm=. modval | (offset + i.(#datalist))
   if. 0 = mm do. mm=. modval end.

But this, of course, does not work.

I would appreciate explicit code only; no tacit expressions.  Much 
thanks in advance!
