if he is using 4DOS or has some way to process the drop file and pull
information out of it to use in the script, he could still use a drop file
even though the remote telnet game server doesn't need one... then by
pulling the user's name out and adding it to the command line, he would be
able to do what he is after... something like this


set callername=%{at}line[door.sys,9]
mytelnet -site=mysiteID -pwd=mysitePWD -myuser=%callername%


the {at}line function reads the door.sys file and stores the contents of line
9 (zero based) in the callername environment variable which is then passed
to the remote in the "mytelnet" command line parameters...
