Try %Pdoor32.sys if you're speciying it on the data line:

Command | (D3) Exec DOOR32 program
Data    | /path/to/door/mydoor %Pdoor32.sys


Or you could also do something like:

Command | (D3) Exec DOOR32 program
Data    | /path/to/door/mydoor.sh %N


[mydoor.sh]
#!/bin/bash
cd /path/to/door
./mydoor /opt/mystic/temp$1/door32.sys
[/mydoor.sh]


From http://wiki.mysticbbs.com/doku.php?id=menu_commands#external_doors:
