   POKE.COM is a transient  replacement for the  RCP-based command of the same
name, for Z33/Z34/NZCOM/Z3PLUS systems where the RCP space has been omitted to
maximize TPA.  In addition to emulating its model's syntax,  POKE.COM observes
the host system's quiet flag for all  displays  other than the help screen and
error messages, unless the local quiet byte  at ENTRY+2  (102h  under  DDT for
Type 3,  202h under DDT for Type 4) is patched to a non-zero value,  in  which
case it is  "quiet"  regardless of the system's edicts.   Only Type 3 (@9800h)
and Type 4 versions are in the  distribution  LBR  -  a Type 3 at 100h doesn't
seem terribly useful, but it would work as expected.

 Syntax    POKE <addr> nn[ nn nn nn....]
           
           Where "addr" is the target address and
           "nn" is any hex byte or word value.  Hex
           numbers of three or more digits are poked
           as words in LSB-first (Intel) order.


      (or) POKE <addr> "any ASCII characters<cr>

           The ascii string starts after the '"' and 
           will be shifted to upper case.

 POKE.COM Notes 

   a. Vs 1.2 updates (9/21/91, Bruce Morgen):
      - Fixed bug that wouldn't allow poking an ASCII string that started with
        a colon (after the opening quote), corrected help screen.

   b. Vs 1.1 updates (7/12/91, Bruce Morgen):
      - Now allows word-wide hex pokes,  useful for late-model "pointer" alias
        parameters.
