Hi,
	I am writing my own BBS software to function as a support point for
software that I write and I'd like to find out more about DOORS.  The 
questions I have are really basic.  I have seen programs that run in "doors"
but I don't know how they are implemented.  I first envisioned a BBS which
was shelling out to DOS to run a program but this is quite impossible.  So
my question is how do doors work, can anyone give me a basic definition to
work with.  I already have all the serial routines done.  My board will be
primarily message and file based, no games and such but I'm considering a
version which would provide this capability.  Help ?
