Thanks Chris, I appreciate the kind words, I really do. 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,

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. Versions for Windows and Linux.
