Sure thing I bet most sysops will tell you to read the docs, but i am going to
tell you how
first go to lordcfg and setup nodes for the bbs, go to each node (configure to
how ever many nodes you have) then tell it what drop file type and were to
place it, the drop file is door.sys this is important that you get that part
right, the directories for it should be setup for each node, for example
c:\sbbs\node1\door.sys is your first node, so basicly it should be like this
c:\sbbs\nodeX\door.sysop the x stands for the node number (depending on how man
y you have) after you do all that made sure it is setup to a standard fossil
driver (for each node) then save it. go to scfg (sbbs configuration) then go to
external programs then go to online programs (doors) go to the game section
next or what ever section you want to put it in

sbbs cfg-------------------------------------------------
name         lord
internal code   lord
command line    start.bat %#    (the #% will always work it tells the game what
node it is in:)
clean-up command line           
the rest should be set to no exept multiple and concurrent users it should be
set to yes.
the bbs drop file type is GAP door.sys
and place drop file in   node directory,
i hope this helps you out if you need any help ask me (i wont flame you like
most people do <G>
