[Coco] Vcc - Drivewire4 How to??

[coco at jechar.ca]

  If addresses $D938-$D93A is where the offset is stored then why after 
setting the offset to
  when I type PRINT PEEK(2360) do I get zero and also get zero for
  PRINT PEEK(2361)  and  PRINT PEEK(2362)
  If I have done my Hex conversion right $0938=2360.
  It seems to me rather then get 0,0,0 I should be getting 5,160,0
  which is the decmal equivalent of 05,A0,00 hex.
