    I'm going to attempt to setup doors once again with Mystic BBS... I have attempted in the past, but failed... My fault I think... after some reflection. :)

    Does Mystic auto generate a node number environment veritable like Synchronet (SBBSNODE) or Wildcat (WCNODEID) or do I just create my own on the fly in a batch file?

    Thanx

    No it doesn't set any environment variables. I've never found any reason to need that.

    When you are executing a door command you can use %N for the node number and %P
    for the path to the door drop files. Mystic replaces those codes with the values I metioned when it executes the command.

    If you execute a batch file like this on a menu:

    Command: DX
    Data: c:\mystic\doors\mydoor.bat %N %P

    Then in your mydoor.bat file the node number would be %1 and the path to the door drop files would be %2 (because the first thing sent to the batch file was
    the node number, and the second was the path to where the drop files like door.sys exist).
