Using the data set from T-60 to T+243 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 241101A (trigger #1264304)
(Parsotan, et al., GCN Circ. 38025).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 204.323, 28.233 deg which is
   RA(J2000)  =  13h 37m 17.5s
   Dec(J2000) = +28d 13' 57.6"
with an uncertainty of 1.3 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 100%.
 
The mask-weighted light curve shows a single-pulse structure that starts at
T-2 sec, peaks at T+1 sec, and ends at T+9 sec.  T90 (15-350 keV) is
10.3 +- 4.5 sec (estimated error including systematics).
 
The time-averaged spectrum from T-2.76 to T+12.86 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.79 +- 0.13.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 5.1 +- 0.4 x 10^-7 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T-0.29 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 1.4 +- 0.1 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.
