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:

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
