1. You need to make the files SETUP.0 through SETUP.10. They need to look like
this except for the first line, which needs to point to the appropriate node
directory:

d:\va\temp\n1\DOOR.SYS
10   <- Line # of Username or First name
0   <- Line # of Last name (0 if prev line was full name)
20   <- Line # of IBM charaters (1/Y/G = yes)
20   <- Line # of ANSI support (1/Y/G/C = yes)
21   <- Line # of number of lines on the screen
2   <- Line # of baud rate
1   <- Line # of COM port
19   <- Line # of time left (minutes)
0   <- Line # of Real Name
Enter 0 for any value not supported.

2. Here is my batch file that runs BRE:

-- BEGIN BATCH --
@echo off
CLS

d:
cd \doors\bre
IF EXIST INUSE.FLG GOTO END

SRDOOR -f SETUP.%1
BRE.EXE

IF EXIST INUSE.FLG DEL INUSE.FLG > NUL.

:END

d:
cd \va
-- END BATCH --

The inuse.flg lines aren't really needed since BRE checks for that itself.

BRE can only be ran by one node at a time.
