Good! Now, we can try to run it. Before we run it, let's peek at the value at
`0xa100` (being RAM, it's random):

So, we'll expect this to become `62` after we run the code. Let's go:

## seek
## mptr
The shell has a global memory pointer (let's call it `memptr`) that is used by
other commands. This pointer is 2 bytes long and starts at `0x0000`. To move
it, you use the seek command with the new pointer position. The command
it, you use the mptr command with the new pointer position. The command
prints out the new `memptr` (just to confirm that it has run). Example:
> seek 42ff
> mptr 42ff
42FF
## peek

This command takes one byte argument (optional, default to 1), the number of

The following example works in the case where you've made yourself a jump table
