PEEK returns a byte value stored at a specified memory location. POKE writes a byte value to a specified memory location. PEEK(address) POKE address,byte% - address A byte position relative to the current segment address set by DEF SEG; a value in the range 0 through 65,535. - byte% A byte value to write to the specified memory location; a value in the range 0 through 255. Example: DEF SEG = 0 Status% = PEEK(&H417) 'Read keyboard status. POKE &H417, (Status% XOR &H40) 'Change Caps Lock state, bit 6. See Also
