MakeWord( hi, low )

wVersionRequested = MAKEWORD( 2, 2 ) ; is the following code going to result in what I need? Please let me know if I need to provide more info.

Function MakeWord( hi, low )
	tempbank = CreateBank(2)
	PokeByte tempbank,0,hi
	PokeByte tempbank,1,low
	tempshort = PeekShort(tempbank,0)
	FreeBank tempbank
	Return tempshort
End Function

I don't think so, because wVersionRequested would then contain a pointer to the word.

Better to just pass a regular int % (not bank *) by doing something like this:

wVersionRequested = (hi Shl 8) Or low

... and make sure your decls specifies the parameter as %.

And reverse the bytes, so it is low followed by hi (Intel order).
