I am new to door games, I have LORD, and BRE running, tho I have yet to find 
the time to figure out how to play BRE.

So if you can mention somethings that I can look out for or report, other than 
the config files, I'd appreciate it ...

Okay, I just created a new local player "Bad" and entered the
pawnshop, and 
exited it, so far so good,

Now enter and talk to Wendy, learn about the PawnShop, quit, quit quit, back 
in Town, view stats, still fine,

Now enter view stats, and read bullitens etc ...

Seems the new user/player is fine,

Lost one level 11 and 2x level 10 players after taking ownership of the 
pawnshop, what happens if you take ownership and don't deposit anything in the 
vault?

Barak's House, and Marty's Mecantile work fine here, no problems yet ...

Well this evening, testing with a new player, no problems, will see later with 
the remaining level 10 player, what happens ...

Understood ...

Thanks for your infomation, I do appreciate it, as stated earlier, I have only 
started playing with doors recently, long after I moved from DOS/OS/2, and 
have no experience whatso ever with them. So currently I have no idea what is 
causing the problem. Dosemu, LORD, the IGM's, a corrupt config file, or 
possibly something that I have not considered.

Currently, I am trying to get as much info as I can to help narrow the 
possibles. From point of view the possibilties are endless, wish I still had a 
386/486 to test with, they sometimes allowed one to see things long enough on 
the screen to catch a error msg. as it flashed past.

I do believe that the doors have been well tested, but also realize that I am 
running a less well understood and used setup.

A posibilty is that I edited a config file while in Linux, and not in DOSEMU, 
which might clash somewhere - I like the tools available in Linux better. :-((
