PEEK

Returns the byte stored at a specified memory offset.

Syntax

PEEK(offset)

Comments

offset is an integer expression (in the range 0 through 65,535) that specifies an offset within the current default segment.

The DEF SEG statement defines the default segment address.

Example

' Save the screen's contents
DIM screensav(3999) AS INTEGER
DEF SEG = &HB800
FOR i = 0 TO 3999
  screensave(i) = PEEK(i)
NEXT i
DEF SEG
