	Once this is done, we now need to define the appropriate procedure. Scroll down a bit further in the file and add a "InfoVeh" procedure that properly synthesizes the output for the new fields we added for vehicles. We want to keep the format looking similar to the one used in the book, so we'll combine the acceleration and top speed on one line, as well as combining the toughness and armor. The new procedure should look similar to the one shown below.		Once this is done, we now need to define the appropriate procedure.

			Now that we've got all of the mechanics in place for basic vehicles, we can define them. Since there can be lots of vehicles, we'll put them in their own data file, which we'll call "thing_vehicles.dat". Either copy an existing data file and gut it of all things or create the file from scratch and setup the appropriate XML basics.

			Once the basic file framework is in place, we can begin defining the various vehicles. A few samples are shown below that can be used as a reference. Note that each has the minimum cost specified as the "grCost" field value. Appropriate tags are assigned to reflect the proper behavior and characteristics of each vehicle.
