Editing the BAT file, you plop a %1 after the first instance of netfoss.com

** SNIP **
{at}echo off
c:\netfoss\netfoss.com %1
** SNIP **

Also remember to copy the NETFOSS.DLL file to either somewhere in your system
PATH (if Windows XP) or \Windows\System32 (if Windows Vista or higher).

Then create a menu for the door. I'd recommend using DOOR.SYS whenever you
can. So the Mystic menu command would look like this on my system:

Command | (DG)  Exec door  (DOOR.SYS)
Data    | c:\netfoss\nf.bat /n%3 /h%0 c:\doors\lord\start.bat %3
Access  | s50
Execute | Select

What game are you trying to get working? With LORD, for example, you remember
you have to edit the actual START.BAT to reflect where it is, right? Not to
mention actually setting the door game up correctly.

Not saying you haven't, just trying to cover all bases here. =)
