Hello.

First off, I am aware that you can poke a string via P8SCII:

@addrnnnn[binstr] poke nnnn bytes to address addr
!addr[binstr] poke all remaining characters to address addr

Yet that is a little unusual for us beginners and I would like to suggest @zep that you add this ability to poke() so you can have poke(addr,string) which would take the entire contents of that string and convert every character to a byte and POKE it in the memory location stated.

In return this should also have PEEK thus: string=peek(addr,len) which would transfer the contents of memory addr with a length of len to the string in question.

Bonus for poking arrays and peeking arrays additionally.

poke4(addr,array[]) which would normally take the array which uses 4-bytes per element and stuff that into memory addr Same with peek array[index]=peek4(addr,len)

However these other two would be nice, poke2(addr,array[]) and array[index]=peek2(addr,len) where in this case array[] would not contain a decimal value and only return a number from -32768 to 32767.

And poke(addr,array[]) and array[index]=peek(addr,len) would create an array that only contains numbers 0 to 255.

One last item, to be able to poke a single character thus: poke(addr,string[1]) which would poke the ord() (ASCII) of the very first character in string. Currently it does not work without ord() poke(addr,ord(string[1])

a="hello"
cls()
poke(0x6000,ord(a[1]))
?"",0,64

What do you think guys, would you like this ?
