myinteger = an integer variable (a floating point number can be used but this will be converted to an integer before saving so only the integer part will be saved)<br></td></tr></table><p class='header'>Command Description: <br><br><table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='2' cellpadding='2' align='center'><tr><td>Once you've opened a disk file (or stream) for writing, use this command to write a single short integer (16 bit) value to the file. Note, each value written uses 2 bytes and is written least significant byte first. The range of the value saved is 0-65535<br>
