DOS Batch files can interpret command line args sequentially, represented by
%1 or %2 or %3. So if you launch c:\game\start.bat and want that start.bat to
point at a specific lemon<node>.cfg, it would be something like

@echo off
c:
cd\game
lemon.exe lemon%1.cfg

Then in Mystic, you launch the game with "start.bat %N" to send the node
number.

%3 will do same as %N, I just prefer %N since it seems more intuitive to my
brain :)
