5. New reserved word: "$CREATE-FILE" -  creates a new file or overwrites
   existing one. Logs the file for uninstal
   e.g.  $CREATE-FILE=$DEST\TTT.FIL
   It is processed just before the $WRITE-TEXT lines.

6. New batch command "PLAYSOUND" to play WAV files.
   Syntax = PLAYSOUND <.WAV file>

         Syntax = PLAY-AVI;<.AVI file>[;FULLSCREEN]

8. New batch commands "IF FILEDATE" and "IF NOT-FILEDATE" 
   - to check the date and time stamp on a file;
         Syntax = IF FILEDATE;filename;date;command
                  IF NOT-FILEDATE;filename;date;command
         Date format = dd/mm/yyyy-hh:mm
         e.g.,         29/04/1997-17:45
