i got this working as a test on my OS/2 system *BUT* it requires 4DOS to be
able to process each line of the D32SYS file created by the RAT template... we
have to echo each line so that the %VARIABLEs will be filled in with their
contents from the environment when writing the DOOR32.SYS file... in RA i'm
passing *R on the command line to get the user's record number... that is then
set in an environment variable %RECNUMB in the bat file...


the ramenu line for the door looks like this

  *c /c c:\ra\d32sys.bat *r *sd32sys *m


D32SYS.BAT file looks like this...

===== begin D32SYS.BAT =====
@echo off
if exist door32.sys del door32.sys
set RECNUMB=%1
for /l %foo in (0,1,%@EVAL[%@LINES[D32SYS.]-1] do echo %@LINE[D32SYS.,%foo] >>
DOOR32.SYS
===== end D32SYS.BAT =====


D32SYS.RAT looks like this

===== begin D32SYS.RAT =====
2
%SOCKHAND
^Kr
RemoteAccess 2.62
%RECNUMB
^Fa
^F3
^Fo
^F_
1
^Kw
===== end D32SYS.RAT =====


the command line in GAMESRV would look like

  c:\gamesrv\nf.bat *H /n*N /h*H c:\ra\ra.exe -n*N -B57600


and NF.BAT would look like this

===== begin NF.BAT =====
@echo off
REM NF.BAT for NetFoss
REM capture the socket handle to SOCKHAND
set SOCKHAND=%1
shift
REM now process as normal before the above 2 lines were added
c:\gamesrv\netfoss.com %1
if errorlevel 1 goto end
c:\gamesrv\netcom.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
c:\gamesrv\netfoss.com /u
:end

===== end NF.BAT =====

i had to change T-HANDLE to SOCKHAND because i found on my system that a '-'
broke the variable name... SOCKHAND is short form of SocketHandle...


NOTE: the above should work IF 4DOS or 4NT can be employed... i do not know
how to have winwhatever script files process a data file line by line and echo
each line with the %VARs replaced back out to a destination file... *MAYBE*
the following line can replace the one above in the D32SYS.BAT file above...

  for /f "delims=" %%x in (D32SYS.) do echo %%x >> DOOR32.SYS

i don't know and will have to try to get on a Vista machine to test it... i
have no way to test it beyond Vista... hopefully the "echo %%x" part will
properly fill in the two %SOCKHAND and %RECNUM vars in the file with their
contents from the environment when it runs...
