All you want to do is delete the line
"CAPTION:What is says here changes every time", including the carriage return at
End_Of_Line -- right? Here's the program:

BC cia /CAPTION:What is says here changes every time{10}//XC 

In place of the character {10}, you want a three-byte Ascii-10, which stands
in a Xy3 program for the carriage return. To write that key in your program
using standard factory-issue Xy3 KBD files, you hold down the Alt and Ctrl keys,
hit 1 then 0 on the grey keypad, and then release Alt+Ctrl. SAve it, RUN
it, Done.
