SoBH uses the BHAreas.bat and opens with it the readme at the end of the installation:

pause
 
notepad BoneHill/Readme-BoneHill.txt

I think it is better to ask the gamer if he wants to read the readme and then before the installation and not after it. Therefore the notepad command in the BHAreas.bat should be deleted and the README command should be added in the TP2.

A Megamod does not mean that you can play all of the mods or all of their content,
but you have more choices or paths through the game.

Many times there is important information to be disseminated in the readme, and many times players overlook the information because they can't be bothered to read the readme. This is just a way to make certain they have the opportunity. :)

With v275 the readme will display in a separate window and the install should continue on now.

I agree that README is superior but if you don't want that then I don't think you need a batch file - just do AT_INTERACTIVE_EXIT ~VIEW BoneHill\Readme-BoneHill.txt~. Or AT_INTERACTIVE_NOW etc., if you don't want it after the install. Notepad should definitely be avoided since it is probably OS-specific (I may have even deleted it on my Windows system).
