   if he is using 4DOS or has some way to process the drop file and pull   
   information out of it to use in the script, he could still use a drop file   
   even though the remote telnet game server doesn't need one... then by pulling   
   the user's name out and adding it to the command line, he would be able to do   
   what he is after... something like this   
      
      
   set callername=%@line[door.sys,9]   
   mytelnet -site=mysiteID -pwd=mysitePWD -myuser=%callername%   
      
      
   the @line function reads the door.sys file and stores the contents of line 9   
   (zero based) in the callername environment variable which is then passed to   
   the remote in the "mytelnet" command line parameters...
