Apropos of nothing (except the oddity of it), you could also do

BX d sg652=W98Q2 ;*;

where BX and Q2 are 3-byte functions. You could even do

BX d sg652=w98Q2 ;*; lowercase "w"

That's because command D (or DEFAULT) automatically uppercases input
unless switch /NV is used. But, here, BX d/nv sg652=w98Q2 would be
a no-no: U2 expects an uppercase OS identifier.

A separate line is optional, but it makes the command easier to spot
in a sea of startup code.

Another option, in NB.DFL:

sg652=W98

Just text, no funcs BX...Q2. Here, of course, a separate line is
required.
