When poking several strings, memory should be divided into "blocks" equal to the length specified in the
STRING statement plus 1. POKE $ does not check to see if it is writing over other variable information.
WARNING: RPBAS IC-52 does not check the address. It is possible to poke into the program, stack, or
variable areas. Results are unpredictable. Poke into mem ory above MT OP for safest
operation.
Refer to the POKEB statement for segment and address information.
POK E$ requires a string variable in order to w ork. If string is in quotes, a data error is returned.
