- 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 is:
-
- <entrycode> : <description>
- <entrycode> : <description>
- <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, control will be returned back to
- ^nodetitle.
-
- Here is a list of currently available doors on ^nodetitle.
