door -> telnet app -> gamesrv
door writes user input to a file, telnet app reads file, and send that to
gamesrv.   

gamesrv -> telnet app -> door
gamesrv sends screens to telnet app, telnet app writes that to a file, the 
door reads that and display's it to the user.

I have since talked with the maker of a few telnet applications on a 
programming fourm: www.experts-exchange.com and learned I can just ignore
these codes and all will be fine. They are for more advance p2p telnet 
applications that want to control various factors in the server to fit the 
client, but for a straight forward client it was okay just to filter them out.
They said though if I recieved a #255 filter out the next two chars in the 
buffer, because #255 is the client/server telling the other c/s that they are
about to issue a command. Then the second char is saying you do it or
I'll do it.  Then the third one sent is what to do. ie #255,#241
#1-(#255Hey I am going to send a command),#241-I will do it,#1-Echo Chars.
They said if you just filter it out then the server thinks you will comply.

They gave me the list of things.  If you would like I can type out that list 
so if this fourm is archived someone else searching can find it.

Looking for working source code that tells me how to use the WinCrt unit. 
Source code with comments more or less. I learn best if I get to play with
diffent things in a working example. This is for something else I have 
planned.  I know there wasn't alot of source, because that is when TPW, became
Delphi.
