I agree with Ben.  We could do stuff with the batch till the cows come home,
and still end up with a half-dozen problems.

You might be better off using a small batch for each door, which is what I
used to do, based off of a small example.  This is a simple script I was using
back in '96:

-----8<-----C-U-T--H-E-R-E----->8-----
@echo off
:: assign a menu hotkey to run this batch file
:: in Opt Parameters put: *C /C C:\RA\CHAT\CHAT *D *N *M
:: assuming paths and Dorinfo1.def being used...
:: change PAGE.SND to sound file of your choice
:: could be different for each node!

c:
cd %RA%\bbs_door\freechat

freechat.exe /S=close.SND /D=%RA%\NODE0%NODE%\DORINFO1.DEF /N=%NODE%

:quit
cd %RA%\NODE0%NODE%
-----8<-----C-U-T--H-E-R-E----->8-----

The DOS environment variables %RA% & %NODE% just contain values for the path
to the RemoteAccess BBS 'home' directory, and the node # for the node handling
the current user.  If you follow the documentation for each door you intend to
run, you can take it a step at a time building your own batch file(s).

Note that I use the colon characters (::) in lieu of REM statements, simply
because some versions of DOS (aka Windows) will still parse REM lines and try
to evaluate the following statements.  Oh, and those REMarks are not mine.
They're probably from the doco file or even a text capture from the RA support
echo.

If you do start your own batches and run into strife then don't be shy.  Ask
questions.  :)  Good luck & have fun!

Cheers,
Paul.
