# The “PEEK VARS” Utility

The PEEK VARS utility is designed to be MERGED to a Basic program either under construction, or one that is being modified. Use it as a “dangling sub-routine” to be consulted when facts about the System Variables are needed. «GO TO 9000» gets a screen print of the System Variables that may be needed for program analysis. Then after the System Vars are known, «CONT ENTER» prints the whole Variable Storage area of memory, disassembled by memory address and character code (in decimal).
