You have to do the same for Synchronet as well, which he used as an example 
("%#" passes the node number to an external program, and there are others). 
Since I have never run Wildcat, I only had his description of Synchronet to go 
by - in which Mystic does the same thing.

As for %WCNODE%, does that not need to be configured to do so at some point? Or 
does it only do it when a setting is switched that the spawned shell will run a 
door? What if you don't want the node number passed to the shell spawned from 
the BBS, is there a way to disable it? If any of this is true, then nothing is 
"automatic".

He asked how to do it, and I tried to help him by showing him how. He makes up 
his own answers and doesn't take your help. It's not the first time he's done 
it, and I can guarantee it won't be the last - HE'S BEEN A SYSOP SINCE 1991 
FFS!

Regards,
Nick
