My daughter's //e has been used for applications and games over the
past half decade.  Now I decided to probe into some simple programming.
I even took a class in BASIC at the j.c., but they only had iBMs in the
lab.  I thought porting my knowledge of PC BASIC would be easy on the
Apple.  Wrong.  Things called Peeks and Pokes weren't part of my
curriculum at the j.c.  I have a reference called the Applesoft
Tutorial, which goes over some fundamental stuff.  But what references
would be of help in understanding Peeks/Pokes, etc.?  Also, if they are
not in circulation, what would be my best means of obtaining them.  

Thanks in advance.  Please respond to my email address as I think the
general audience has surpassed this programming ability.
