Poke
In computing, POKE is a BASIC programming language command used for setting the contents of a memory address. It is usually invoked as follows, either in direct mode (entered and executed at the BASIC prompt) or in indirect mode (in a program):
POKE(address,value)
An alternative (syntactically simplified) syntax, used in e.g. Commodore BASIC V1.0+, is:
POKE address,value
POKE commands are inherently not portable and thus they almost always will not work on any other system than the one the program was written for.
