Currenty the door only       runs executable command line parameters one at a time. But you could achieve       something close to what you want with a batch/bash file. One line could call       the -D%P -I%4 -U parameters as you are currently doing and then a second line       could call the -D%P -I%4 -Q parameters that would drop the user to the Main       Menu. It would not be as seemless as me doing it within code, but I think it       would do what you want.              Hope this helps,              Vincent Jacobs       Lone Wolf Software       AI-WX Weather              PS, I have a free door game I just finished available for download on my BBS       at firesidebbs.com:23231. Look for the Shut the Box door game in the Lone Wolf       Software file area.
