 GM> === Cut Begin: XBOOT2.BTM ===

the first potential problem I see with this BTM is that it uses variables
that start with underscores (_) variables that begin with underscores are
a bad idea when using 4dos as future versions of 4dos may have them as
internal variables.

I'll let you know what I find after I get it running without errors,
(so far I've found three errors that stop it from running here:
pipes in the data file, an %= escape in a ` quote, and the date format)
Ok now it's running.

It is that simple.

It maay be easier if you first but first you should split the echo that writes 
to the
data file off into a subroutine instead of having it repeated 4 times.
and also remember to ensure that _next doesn't come out blank when you read
the data file,
