On 15 Feb 98  17:41:00, a Gin and Tonic at the Angler's Rest overheard 
Gordon Preete say to Peter May:
PM>Before you enter the doorway, you put the program in doorway mode an
PM>have greater keyboard control whilst in the door than you
PM>would normally have. I use the doorway program on my BBS
PM>here in Australia, it's great!
GP>OK so I turn on doorway mode..yes trun it on and off...but how would
GP>that gave me greater keyborad control??? wouldn't that control be if
GP>other computer hookup to your and enter the doorway when it was open???
GP>Have you tryed is out side of running door games on your BBS??
While doorway mode games are one reason to have doorway mode, any program 
you run through your computer with Telix which requires all of the 
keystrokes (or even one of them) might require doorwar mode.  For instance, 
I am a Remote Sysop of a TBBS (The Bread Board System) bulletin board.  One 
of the facilities at this system permits me to drop out of the BBS program 
into DOS and to the configuration programs just as if I was sitting there 
at the console of the BBS machine.  But the configuration program requires 
me to use a bunch of Alt-key commands--and as you know, Telix uses a lot of 
Alt-key commands for its own control, too.  Doorway mode permits me to send 
those Alt-key commands to the BBS computer (except for, of course, the 
Alt-= which toggles me into and out of doorway mode).
If you need it, you need it.  If you don't need it, don't sweat it.
