- This command allows you to open a DOOR to another application. You may
- open a door via door number or by name.

- Subcommands
- @X03
- @X0B[door #] @X03This represents the number of the DOOR to open. It may
- either be stacked with the command at the conference
- command prompt (e.g., OPEN;1) or chosen after the DOOR
- menu is displayed.
-
- @X0B[door name] @X03Instead of the DOOR number, you may type the actual
- DOOR name. For example, to open a door called
- 'EXCITING' you could type OPEN;EXCITING from the
- conference command prompt.
-
- NOTE: If you use the name to open a door then you can
- type just the name of the door at the conference
- command prompt. For example if you have a door called
- MAIL, type MAIL at the conference command prompt to
- open the door.
-
- @X0B[parameter] @X03You may pass a parameter to the DOOR that is called.
- This parameter is similar to one passed at a DOS prompt
- to another application. Not all DOOR programs accept
- parameters so unless a particular DOOR states that it
- will accept parameters, assume that it does not. As an
- example, if you were to open a door by typing
- OPEN;SALES;ANYTHING, you would be opening a DOOR called
- SALES and ANYTHING would be passed as a parameter.

- Description
- @X03
- A DOOR can extend a BBS because a DOOR is more or less an application
- that is independent of the bulletin board system. For example, a door
- could be an on-line game or an on-line database. If you do not specify
- a door number or name to open, the door menu is displayed so that you
- may pick a door to open.
