   Apparently the problem was with the DOOR.SYS dropfile. On my system, the   
   DOOR.SYS dropfile(s) that are created are only designed to use the first and   
   second nodes. I used a program (QkDoor) to extrapolate the DOOR.SYS dropfiles   
   into DORINFO#.DEF dropfiles. And all is well. I only have a few doors left to   
   figure out. Most notably, "Enigma Of Ashrella" and "Netrunner". The majority   
   of the door games work fine with this set up.
