can point it to another temp directory with previous leftover DOOR.SYS type 
files (Maybe leftover from bad logoffs/crashes) and it works when I run it 
manually. But when D3 
DOOR32 option in Mystic executes it, doesn't work. Looking at my call logs 
(redirecting the echo statements into a log file), the commands are correct 
that Mystic is executing.

running my BBS and check the temp1 dir (Logged onto node 1), the files are 
there...but after 20 seconds they are auto-removed by the game.

ok. More on this. :)

So I'm using Darryl Perry's method (Awesome job btw!)
http://cyberia.darktech.org/dispfile.php?textfile=gfiles/mystic/dosdoors-howto.txt&title=How+To+Add+DOS+doors+to+Raspberry+Pi+Mystic

My doors.sh script call looks like this:
## Pimpwars
PIMP)
     echo "@echo off" > ${gobat}
     echo "D:" >> ${gobat}
     echo "D:\DOORS\bnu\bnu" >> ${gobat}
     echo "CD \DOORS\PIMPWARS" >> ${gobat}
     echo "CALL PIMPWARS.EXE E:\TEMP${NODE}\DOOR.SYS ${NODE}" >> ${gobat}
     ;;

My menu command (Menu (doors))
Command: (D3) Exec DOOR32 program
Data: /home/bbs/doors/qemu/doors.sh PIMP %3 /DOS

Other info:
Using pimpwars 1.52 (DOS) version
Running Mystic 1.12a36 (So Menu Door option DG is no longer an option. D3 only)

Like I said, works with LoRD and Dungeon Master and others.
Difference between LoRD and Pimp Wars is LorD has a START.BAT script and a 
config that defines where the drop files reside.

For pimpwars you just have to pass that into as a parameter like so:
CALL PIMPWARS.EXE E:\TEMP${NODE}\DOOR.SYS ${NODE}
Which resolves to this if logged onto node #1
CALL PIMPWARS.EXE E:\TEMP1\DOOR.SYS 1

What else:
E: is my mount to /mystic directory (right off of root)
D: is my mount to /home/bbs

Hopefully that helps a little more.
Thanks!
