POKE & PEEK

[Fred Katzel]

Hi

When I programmed on my Commadore 64, years ago I would determine
the end of the program and then POKE the characters numbers into
the memory above the end of the program. Is there anyway to deter-
mine the end of a PowerBASIC program so I can do the samething?
Then when I wanted to write the letter I would PEEK the memory and
put it onto paper.

This is not a meaningful technique with PB/DOS, which already gives
you access to all available DOS-arena memory, and then some. Just use
strings or a string array.

See MEMSET and ENDMEM in the PB-DOS help file, although these are usually used to allow OTHER programs to use high memory, with POKEd subroutines usually stored in your own address space, as Mr. Hanlin suggests..
