Using the data set from T-239 to T+963 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 181023***A*** (trigger #868427)
(NAME, et al., GCN Circ. xxxx).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 248.325, 19.578 deg which is 
   RA(J2000)  =  16h 33m 18.0s 
   Dec(J2000) = +19d 34' 41.4" 
with an uncertainty of 2.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 51%.
 
[Description about the mask-weighted light curve]
T90 (15-350 keV) is 57.0 +- 8.0 sec (estimated error including systematics).
 
The time-averaged spectrum from T-29.0 to T+36.9 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.72 +- 0.24.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.3 +- 0.2 x 10^-06 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+32.18 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 1.0 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
