mem_set

Definition: mem_set(atom addr, integer byte, integer n)
Description: Set n bytes of memory, starting at address addr, to the value of byte.
Comments: The low order 8 bits of byte are actually stored in each byte.

mem_set(addr, byte, n) is equivalent to: poke(addr, repeat(byte, n)) but is much faster.
Example:
destination = allocate(1000)
mem_set(destination, ' ', 1000)
-- 1000 consecutive bytes in memory will be set to 32 
-- (the ASCII code for ' ')
