Thanks for taking the time to create an account to report this, Tonci. I have committed a fix as [r4783], which will available in FMSLogo 7.5.0.

This was a duplicate of bug #497.

In case you're new to Logo, you generally don't parenthesize things. In C, you enclose arguments in parens. In LISP, you enclose statements (s-expressions) in parens. In Logo, you don't use parens unless you want to pass a non-default number of arguments, in which case you parenthesize instructions.

So the instruction that it looks like you wanted is:

PRINT REMAINDER 1 2

or, if you really like parens:

PRINT (REMAINDER 1 2)

Thank you for the fix!
Yes I'm new to Logo and I need some time to get used to Logo treatment of parenthesis.
