- D)oors: The "D" command takes you to the Door System. "Doors" are
- applications external to RBBS-PC that a SYSOP sets up so that users
- who call in can exit to them and then return to RBBS-PC. RBBS-PC
- only acts as a "gateway" to a "door."
-
- A "door" can be any application written in any language (i.e. on-
- line ordering, on-line games, on-line data bases, etc.).
-
- Because the input and output is via the communications port such
- applications are restricted to a line-at-a-time input and output.
-
- Some SYSOP's have "doors" that move the caller's cursor -- but
- this requires the caller's communication software support the same
- conventions for moving the cursor around on the screen as the
- particular "door" that was invoked follows (there is no standard one).
