Thank you AJ, that was the right hint :-)
The beaufighter door animation is the one I needed, simple and 
effective. Now, I have a fully working rotate animation and proper key 
bindings.

I have to point out the beaufighter toggle_cdoor function is not 
completely correct (it doesn't work right if you toggle the animation 
while the door is already rotating). I had to change it a little bit in 
order to get it at constant speed. But that was a very solid point to 
start from; now I know a little how to write such animation nasal 
scripts :-) I whish there were more NASAL tutorials around.

  cheers,
    Roberto
