Sadly... no, it is a bit more complicated. By pressing three, you get to set the sprite's brain... 6 is a "cycling" brain, which is for things which repeat the same sequence over and over, like fire or potions. So you would select your sprite and press three, then you would see something saying "Brain: 0" or somesuch and you would change the 0 to a 6 and press enter.
Unfortunately, there is no specific brain for "door"... more fortunately, the script for the fireball does the tree burning (it checks the sequence and frame [i.e., picture] of the thing it hits, and if it is a burnable tree, burns it. Complicated, I guess. But if you put in the right kind of trees, they'll burn)
My advice: play with your editor for a while. Change all the properties and such (press numbers other than 3), and see what happens. Dink hands you a tremendous amount of control, and hence can be hideously complicated, but once you "get" it, you appreciate all of the power you have.
