The problem that I have with the statement is that when it is executed to the goto from the IF...THEN I used poke. When writing to a VAR I do not need the poke, but when I need to write to a address on the chip, per-say, that is when I would use the poke or peek. Example: POKE $86,0 for writing to the chip ;

(NOT CORRECT)
twenf:
poke B6,$32: poke B7,$35:goto cs

(CORRECT)
twenf:
B6 = $32 : B7 = $35 : goto cs

OR

twenf:
B6 = $32
B7 = $35
goto cs
