          end

     This code uses the ADDR() function to locate the start of the data
     table at label FOO.  The list item of interest is found by adding an
     offset value (N * 2) to the address of FOO.  The PEEK() function then
     reads the 16-bit value stored at that address in the table.

     To use the above technique with a DATAB table, you must change PEEK()
     to PEEKB() and remove the multiplication by 2 in the offset
     calculation.

     Note that SBasic writes a DATA table in place.  That is, the table
     appears in exactly the same position in the output file as it appears
     in your SBasic source file.

     This means you cannot place a DATA table inside a block of executable
     code.  If you do, the target MCU will eventually try to execute the
     DATA table as if it were machine code, and your program will crash.

     For that reason, put your DATA statements outside of executable
     blocks.  A good place to write DATA statements is immediately before
     the MAIN: label in your program.
