No path needed as I wouldn't be executing the pogram from that line but
rather calling the door from the internal database. My problem was the
config I had for the bulletins. Running the program twice would never
show anything the second time with the /NEW switch. Once I realised that
it was simple. I ended up chaging it to /NOASK. Looks good amd tastes
great! Thanks!
