— POKE P0KE address, value
The POKE command allows you to change any value in the Plus/4 RAM
memory, and lets you modify many of the Plus/4 Input/Output registers.
POKE is always followed by two numbers, (or equations). The first
number is a location inside the Plus/4 memory. This could have any
value from 0 to 65535. The second number is a value from 0 to 255,
— which is placed in the location, replacing any value that was there
previously.
n EXAMPLE:
10 POKE 28000,8
20 POKE 28*1000,27
Sets location 28000
to 8.
Sets location 28000
to 27.
Note: PEEK is listed under FUNCTIONS.
PRINT PRINT Printlisl
The PRINT statement is the major output statement in BASIC. While the
PRINT statement is the first BASIC statement most people learn to use,
there are many subtleties to be mastered here as well. The word PRINT
can be followed by any of the following:
Characters inside of quotes ("text lines")
Variable names (A, B, A$, XS)
Functions (SIN(23), ABS(33))
Punctuation marks (;,)
The characters inside of quotes are often called literals because they
are printed exactly as they appear. Variable names have the value
they contain (either a number or a string) printed. Functions also have
their number values printed. Punctuation marks are used to help for
mat the data neatly on the screen. The comma divides the screen into
4 columns for data, while the semicolon doesn't add any spaces.
Either mark can be used as the last symbol in the statement. This re
sults in the next PRINT statement acting as if it is continuing the last
PRINT statement.
