I just mentioned 2 BBS software that do it

Start:
During operation, Synchronet may write to several different environment
variables which can be utilized by other programs.  Some of these environment
variables are also used by the utility programs that are included with
Synchronet as well as third party programs written for Synchronet.  Following
is a list of environment variables and a brief explanation of them:

....
SBBSNNUM This variable contains the NUMBER of the active node.  This
         variable is set by SBBS at the time it is executed.
Stop:

WINServer AKA WildCat 5 does the same thing.  It generates WCNODEID as an
environment variable when it spawns a window to run a door...

The answer is no, or it sounds like it... no big because I can make one up in
the batch file as needed.

...
set nodenum=%3
cd\bbs\node%nodenum%
...

Just asking
