    SN> ...So there is my mess, here to hoping some of it makes sense!   
      
   so i went looking on the old mystic VM and it wasn't running murder motel as i   
   had thought... so a quick rummage into my old OS2 setup turns it up there   
   running under my old RemoteAccess setup... so here's what jumped out at me...   
      
   1. MM is not multinode capable. only one user at the time.   
   2. my script copies the door.sys to the MM directory.   
      
   additional debugging hints:   
      
   add something to both of your bat files so you can see what the variables are   
   that you are passing and how they will appear in the various command lines   
   your scripts execute...   
      
   eg:   
      
     @echo off   
     REM THIS IS NF.BAT   
     echo Running %0   
     echo 1 = %1   
     echo 2 = %2   
     echo 3 = %3   
     echo 4 = %4   
     echo 5 = %5   
     echo 6 = %6   
     echo 7 = %7   
     echo 8 = %8   
     echo 9 = %9   
     echo command line executed:   
     echo   %0 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9   
     pause   
     rem **you can optionally add ansi.com here**   
     echo command to execute:   
     echo   c:\mystic\netfoss\netfoss.com %1   
     pause   
     c:\mystic\netfoss\netfoss.com %1   
     if errorlevel 1 goto end   
     echo command to execute:   
     echo   c:\mystic\netfoss\netcom.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9   
     pause   
     c:\mystic\netfoss\netcom.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9   
     c:\mystic\netfoss\netfoss.com /u   
     :end   
     echo END OF NF.BAT   
      
      
     @echo off   
     REM THIS IS MM.BAT   
     echo Running %0   
     echo 1 = %1   
     echo 2 = %2   
     echo 3 = %3   
     echo 4 = %4   
     echo 5 = %5   
     echo 6 = %6   
     echo 7 = %7   
     echo 8 = %8   
     echo 9 = %9   
     echo command line executed:   
     echo   %0 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9   
     pause   
     c:   
     cd \mystic\doors\mm   
     echo command to execute:   
     echo   copy c:\mystic\temp%4\door.sys c:\mystic\doors\mm   
     copy c:\mystic\temp%4\door.sys c:\mystic\doors\mm   
     pause   
     echo command to execute:   
     echo   mm46 murder.cfg c:\mystic\doors\mm\door.sys   
     pause   
     mm46 murder.cfg c:\mystic\doors\mm\door.sys   
     echo END OF MM.BAT   
      
      
   using the above, you will have to hit enter 6 times as the scripts run... this   
   allows you to check each of the 6 command lines and the raw var data dumps...   
   remote users will not see the pauses and will think the system has locked   
   up... do not allow remote users to execute your netfoss doors until you have   
   figured out what is going on and fixed it... then you can REM the pause lines   
   and let the users have at it...

   Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would   
   set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.   
   ... Of course, anything that came close to a flame is BBQ round here.
