   DOS Batch files can interpret command line args sequentially, represented by   
   %1 or %2 or %3. So if you launch c:\game\start.bat and want that start.bat to   
   point at a specific lemon.cfg, it would be something like   
      
   @echo off   
   c:   
   cd\game   
   lemon.exe lemon%1.cfg   
      
   Then in Mystic, you launch the game with "start.bat %N" to send the node   
   number.   
      
   %3 will do same as %N, I just prefer %N since it seems more intuitive to my   
   brain :)
