The path without the filename is the correct setting.

This door kit is picky about the dropfiles it reads.  In the case of Mystic's DOOR.SYS file, line 14 (User password) being blank is causing the error #5.  Anything at all on that line will suffice to get rid of the error.  Then you'll start getting runtime error #6.

Line #46 gets "32768" written to it by default.  This line gets read into a 16-bit signed integer with a maximum positive value of 32767.  Anything over that results in a runtime error.

There's a utility called CVTDOOR that can be used to manipulate these two lines.  Use the utility to add anything to line 14 and set line 46 to any smaller number.  By changing these two lines I was able to get the Mystic generated DOOR.SYS file to work.
