This and the handle. Thats all we need to get as parameters. The rest of the
data can be hardcoded on the batchfile to create when the DOOR32.SYS is
created.

Not really as you can receive cooand line parameters on the batch file that
executes the door and from there create the temporary DOOR32.SYS.
For example, if you invoke:

C:\BBS\BBSLINK.BAT *H *R *N lord

from within the batch file you need to create the DOOR32.SYS before invoking
BBSLINK.EXE like:

REM ##########################
REM # CREATE DOOR32.SYS
REM ##########################
TYPE "1" > DOOR32.SYS                                   <--- Line 1 : Comm

REM #########################
REM # INVOKE BBSLINK

Something like this....

Let me know if you can achieve this.
