      Hello Andrew,              On 06 Dec 16 23:23, Andrew Leary wrote to Shawn Highfield:               SH>> It did. Now one more question.

In the case he's describing, he's       making use of a telnet door game server (ie: DoorParty or BBSLink) hosted       elsewhere, which would not require his system to use a dropfile.              So from what I've been reading, he's trying to create a script that once       executed from one of his BBS menus, will telnet to that door game server, and       is supposed to login with your BBS credentials given to you by the server's       host, and then pass the user name of the person logged on to your system for       use in the door game server's drop files.              It looks like Shawn's looking for a way to pass the current logged in user's       name to that script, so he can continue to pass that name on to the door game       server.              Regards,       Nick              ...
