Back in my RemoteAccess days I run a program called DDOOR.  It'd track door
game usage and who used them.

I don't care about the who used them, but to track door usage is something I'm
interested in.

The problem with DDOOR is it requires you capture a code and save it to a
temporary file.  This was usually done in the batch file you used to run the
game.  Something like "DDOOR AC6 /N"  Worked great.  

But I wanted to run it under my current BBS.  But I did not want to use batch
files to run each door game.  I like Synchronets command line, it's much easier
than setting up batch files.

Today I figured I could take advantange of the Clean-up Command Line in SCFG. 
I did have to set up a very simple batch file to run DDOOR on the games I
wanted to track but it seems to work.

I put the DDOOR files in the /xtrn directory

The batch file is:

cd c:\sbbs\xtrn
ddoor ac6 /n
exit

I run the undate file (ddoor /g) in my nightly batch file to undate the
tracking screen.  It'll be interesting to see how it works.
