I would guess Integer Division - '\' in QBASIC, rather than '/', which
is floating point division.

Looking at the example for 'MOD' in QuickBasic (not QBASIC) Help, it
looks very similar.

The QBASIC Help, which is different, says that the expression on each
side of MOD is rounded to integer before use, if a real number.

So  5 \ 2 MOD 2=0 will be true  (5 \ 2 gives 2)
but 5 / 2 MOD 2=0 will be false
                  (5 / 2 gives 2.5 which will round to 3 in the MOD).

Are you really sure, though, of the HP85 Basic 'MOD'? I wonder if it
does this rounding?
