I like the idea of using vxMemProbe to poke values into memory - I've
been wondering how to do this from a startup script for ages.  Can I
suggest the following simplification, which avoids the need to create
the local symbol mydata:

vxMemProbe(0xfffe102b,1,1,"\0")

In fact just "" without the \0 ought to work, but it's slightly less
obvious what value is being poked then.
