[R] Modulus operator??

[M. Edward Borasky]

I'm trying to do a modulus operator in R-1.2.2 on Windows -- specific
version:

R : Copyright 2001, The R Development Core Team
Version 1.2.2 Patched (2001-03-22)

Here's what the R language manual says:

"R contains a number of operators. They are listed in the table below.

[snip]

%  Modulus, binary"

Here's what happens on the R console:

> records <- 100000
> modulus <- 1000
> records % modulus
Error: syntax error
> records / modulus
[1] 100
>

I haven't tried this on Linux yet, so I don't know if it's Windows-specific.
I did try coercing the values to integer with "as.integer" and it didn't
help. Am I leaving something out??

If there's nothing to astrology, how come so many famous men were born on
