This sound logical....
But if the whole point is that there is something on this hook, why 
not test that first, do this POKE if it's empty, and do nothing when 
there's already something there?

In other words, replace:

POKE -54,35

with:

IF PEEK(-54)=&HC9 THEN POKE -53,&HC9: POKE -54,35

(If there's any other IF's before that: just leave those). So, 
Manuel, try this now, and then stop filling our e-mail boxes with 
this nonsens, ok?
