I don't understand peek, poke, def seg, and al the stuff like that. What do they do and how do you use them?

Peek, Poke and Def Seg - Great resource, that qb help is.
PEEK and POKE read and write bytes fro and to near memory. It's where things like variables, arrays, program memory, bios pointers, the screen, the text buffer, all sorts of nifty things are stored. Glenn has a huge list of memory locations and what they do. Peeking and poking work as such. Let's say you have your memory address and offset (An address points to 16 byte increments, and an offset is the number of bytes from that point). You set your address with DEF SEG, and then you POKE offset, value. sooo, let's say we look on glenn's nifty list and find: &HA000 -> vga screen so we say: DEF SEG = &HA000 poke pixelsfromzero, colour where pixelsfromzero is the x location plus the y location times 320. and we have just plotted a pixel faster than qb's PSET. Of course, there's bunches of things in memory, so you can do bunches of things with PEEK and POKE. Though, it's mostly used as a faster alternative to things already implemented in qb statements, like mid$ or pset.

However, it's not really "my" list. I didn't compile it. I just put it at my site. (I was originally pointed to it by someone else. It's no longer where it originally was on the internet, so I put it on my site. (I have pretty much the same information else, but books sitting around my room aren't really easy to show people who aren't actually *here*.  ))

You can also look at ralf brown's interrupt list, it includes a port list and a memory list

where is that list?
