   You didn't say what operating system you are using so I can't with too much   
   detail but for what you're asking you can use %P which will be replaced by the   
   path to drop files for that node (it will create dorinfo1.def, door.sys, and   
   chain.txt for DOS doors).   
      
   You can find a list of things that will be replaced on the command line and   
   the various menu commands to run doors here:   
      
   http://wiki.mysticbbs.com/doku.php?id=menu_commands#external_doors   
      
   So for example if you were logged into Node 1 and did:   
      
   Command: DX   
      Data: c:\doors\mydoor.exe %Pdoor.sys   
      
   Mystic would create the drop files in that node's temp directory and the %P   
   would be replaced with that path (including the slash):   
      
   c:\doors\mydoor.exe c:\mystic\temp1\door.sys
