: One hint, though... PowerBASIC 3.2 supports inline assembly. Don't fool around with
: assembly until you know precisely what you're doing unless you want to hang your
: computer, or worse. A bad interrupt call will corrupt data on your hard drive!
Oh, come now. The following (all legal basic calls, which will work in
every dialect I know) will lock the computer tighter than a drum. You
don't need assembler.
for i=1 to 65535
poke i,0
next i
Try it - you'll like it.
