Doors
-----
Doors is a means by which you may run outside programs through ^variantname.
Control of the computer is actually handed over to the external program, and
when it is finished, control is returned to ^variantname.
Doors may be activated by the use of the <D> or <.D> command. Typing
<D> will cause ^nodetitle to list all the doors available and then
prompt for the entry code of the desired door. The display format will
be:
<entrycode> : <description>
Alternatively, you may type '.D entrycode' to bypass the list and
immediately enter the appropriate door.
After a slight delay, the external program will be brought online. Some
doors may spew out a few garbage characters before coming up; don't worry unless
you lose carrier.
When you exit the door program, you will be returned back to ^nodetitle.
Here is a list of currently available doors on ^nodetitle.
^doorlist
