1. return a 2-byte binary representation of a string sequence
Hello all,
Dumb question as my brain is not functioning
How do I return a 2-byte binary representation of a string sequence?

Im close I think with this:
pointer = poked string sequence
result = remainder(floor(pointer/256),256)
Maybe Im wrong

What the....???
And if the string is longer than two bytes? Well that was my first reaction, but
from your 'example' it seems you are trying to get the lower 16-bits of a RAM
address. Is that what you are trying for? If so just do this...
result = and_bits(#FFFF, pointer)

I'm not getting a clear picture of what you want here, but this was
lying around somewhere, if it is any help:
function Peek2u(atom x)
-- returns a 2 byte signed word from address x
return peek(x+1)*#100 + peek(x)
end function
