SteveMcNeill 33adc04fc4 Add temp folder to repo. It's necessary as well!
Just more initial setting on... nothing much to see here.

The '''PEEK''' function returns the value that is contained at a certain memory address offset. '''QB64 currently has limited access!'''
{{PageSyntax}}
:: variable = PEEK(''segment_offset'')
* Reads the specified memory ''segment_offset'' value.
* Use [[DEF SEG]] before PEEK to specify which memory segment to work in.
* PEEK only reads the memory byte value. Not certain bits. (See [[AND]])
* Important [[SCREEN (statement)|SCREEN]] segments using [[PEEK]] and [[POKE]] include &HB800 (text segment) and &HA000 (graphics segment).
* To return to Basic default segment use [[DEF SEG]] without any arguments.
* '''Warning: DEF SEG, VARSEG , VARPTR, PEEK or POKE access QB64's emulated 16 bit conventional memory block!'''
: '''It is highly recommended that QB64's [[_MEM]] memory system be used to avoid running out of memory.'''
''Example:'' Checking the 8 keyboard bit settings using a PEEK return value.
