Re: how do you do a BASIC POKE?

[Doug Browning <wpg750@mb.imag.net>]

The Applesoft POKE command is used to set a specific memory location to a specific
value. In the example given (POKE 3678,255), location (L) 3678 is set to a value
(V) of 255. Also usful is the PEEK command, which reads the value of a specific
location. In the above example, "PRINT: PEEK 3678" should display the value 255.
Your game is probably using L 3678 to store some sort of validity check, if it
doesn't like the value it finds there, it wont run.
