    The run.bat is located in the c:\users\plt\mysticbbs\doors\stackem

    Your Mystic command line is wrong, and your nf.bat is wrong as well as far as I can tell per your own admission.

    Change the /%3 /H0 to /N%N /H%H
    Change the stackem/run.bat to stackem\run.bat for consistency
    Change the nf.bat "netcom.exe %1 %2 etc" line to c:\users\plt\mysticbbs and do the same for the other line under it for "netfoss.com /u" if that's where netfoss.com and netcom.exe are.

    Hello

    I made the changes that you told me to do and while trying to run the
    bbs door I am getting command not passed.

    Here is the changes I did

    nf.bat /N%N /H%H c:\users\plt\mysticbbs\doors/stackem.bat

    You have to have the path to nf.bat, so this line should be:

    c:\users\plt\mysticbbs\nf.bat <the rest of the commandline here> %3

    run.bat

    @echo off
    set NODE=%1
    netcom.exe %1 %2
    cd c:\Users\plt\mysticbbs\DOORS\Stackem
    STACKEM.EXE STACKEM.CFG C:\users\plt\mysticbbs\temp%1\doors.sys
    cd c:\users\plt\mysticbbs
    netfoss /U

    I'm not sure what this run.bat is for, if you already have a stackem.bat that you're calling to run the game.

    NF.BAT

    @echo off
    c:\users\plt\mysticbbs\netfoss.com %1
    if errorlevel 1 goto end
    REM c:\mystic\netfoss\netcom.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
    netcom.exe %1 %2
    c:\mystic\netfoss\netfoss.com /u
    :end

    Your nf.bat file should look like this exactly:

    @echo off
    c:\users\plt\mysticbbs\netfoss.com %1
    if errorlevel 1 goto end
    c:\users\plt\mysticbbs\netcom.exe %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 c:\users\plt\mysticbbs\netfoss.com /u
    :end

    Just make sure that Stackem! is setup correctly and it all should work.
