FUNCTION WPeek% (Segment&, Offset%)

    'Peeks a word (two bytes) and returns it as a result of the function

    DEF SEG = Segment&
    TempL% = PEEK(Offset%)
    TempH% = PEEK(Offset% + 1)
    DEF SEG
    POKE VARPTR(Result%), TempL%
    POKE VARPTR(Result%) + 1, TempH%
    WPeek% = Result%

END FUNCTION
