Okay.  Let's try to straighten this out.
1.  Telix has "doorway mode" which does NOTHING more than send "raw"
    keyboard codes out through the COM port.  For example, it will
    normally intercept PgUp and interpret it as a command to begin
    an upload.  With "doorway mode" on, it'll let the PgUp command
    be sent on out through the COM port.  Another example would be
    its intercepting Alt-H and displaying a help menu, vs. sending
    Alt-H out through the COM port.
2.  BBS programs such as Spitfire, Maximus, PCBoard, Wildcat, Opus,
    etc., may be written to allow for "doors," which are links to
    run other programs, like shelling to DOS from WordPerfect and
    running a spreadsheet program while WP, to which you'll return
    when you exit the DOS shell, sits in the background.
3.  There is a program by the name of "Doorway" written to be used
    as a BBS door to facilitate a system operator's performing DOS
    operations, such as moving and editing files.  Use of it may or
    may not be facilitated by putting Telix into "doorway mode" to
    send "raw" keyboard codes but they're not otherwise related in
    any way.
4.  Telix itself isn't a BBS program, although it does have "host
    mode" (a compiled SALT script) which may or may not permit use
    of Doorway, the program.  (I've never looked at "host mode.")
