Although I agree that knowing what the peek/poke locations do is useful, 
they're pretty useless for - oh, things like "Output a character to the 
screen" type work. I'm of course assuming the OP's notion of "hooks" 
equates to "ROM routines that can be called to do something useful". In 
that context, he's absolutely correct: A list of peeks and pokes is 
utterly worthless for ML programming.
