 BOOTCOLD()
 Triggers a cold boot
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax

     BOOTCOLD()

 Description

     BOOTCOLD() allows you to restart the system after a critical error
     (assuming anything is still working), or to allow any program changes
     you have made in CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT to take effect.  The
     function calls for a cold start.  This means a RAM check and POST (power
     on self test) are carried out.

 Notes

     .  Close all files prior to a boot.  You can use CLOSE DATABASES.

     .  If there is a large system memory, a RAM check takes a long
        time.  To avoid this lengthy procedure, you might consider using the
        BOOTWARM() function for a restart after changing CONFIG.SYS.

 Example

     An error in an error trap can no longer be changed:

     CLOSE DATABASES
     BOOTCOLD()
