 POKE...(<C segment>, <C|N offset>, <data>)
 Stores data of specified type at memory location.
 Returns <expL> false if less than 3 parameters passed, otherwise true.

 <segment> is the segment address of a memory location
    expressed as a 4-byte hexadecimal string.

 <data> to POKE at the specified location.

 Useful for simulating data types and structures not supported by Clipper.

 The following POKE...() functions are available:

 Function     Returns
 ----------   --------------------------------
 POKEBYTE()   1-byte hex string
 POKECHAR()   1-byte ASCII character
 POKEINT()    2-byte integer

 See the example under ALLOCATE().

 Hazard
    There are no protected areas in memory on a PC.  These
    functions assume that the address you pass them is valid.  If
    it is not, you could overwrite essential areas in memory,
    possibly causing computer lock-up and data destruction.

 The functions ALLOCATE() and DEALLOC() have been provided
 specifically to give you a protected area in memory into which
 to POKE.  You get the most power and safety out of the POKE()
 functions if you use them in combination with ALLOCATE() and DEALLOC().
