Dang dudes, I quoted too much there - anyway, I gotta run over to card and claw today, Alpha. Its really cool to hear that your developing a door - I've been playing with jACK pHLASHs REFDoor, which is a scripting language much like the LORD door extensions of past... jACK has kept it up to date and its... pretty neat. For building things like an online BBS ZINE. 

But... I'm interested, in passing, of how your coding your stuff. What language/software/etc? I am not a coder, but I can fart around in MPS/MPL/MPY enough to get in trouble... and its neat that you're creating and seem like you have some similar amount of knowledge, more/less... 

How are you creating your magic, Alpha-wizard???
