Hymn has the general idea when it comes to closing portals... Plus, if you're a DM, be creative. There are hundred of techniques you can make available for your players, just do some research.
I have some PS material that I can post which discusses alternate creation methods and collapsing techniques with regard to portals, but it'll have to wait until I get home tomorrow.

| Of course, I can imagine that clear enough... But would the noble Regis have a heart to do that to those poor innoncent hobbits of the Shire? |

Please let us return to the discussion of portals within this scroll or I may have to roll it up and seal it away. Be a pity you know, I do love the disussion of portals...   |

Alright, Tethoril. Okay, what is the location of this "infinite staircase" thingy that you guys were talking about before? |

The Staircase is from Planescape. It is one of the planar pathways that you can use if you don't want to use portals or gates. It basically has landings to every place in existance that contains people that make art, or written works, or other creative items. One of the doorways leads to your hearts desire and usually if you enter that door you are never seen from again because why would you wish to leave your hearts desire?
The staircase grows from Selune's realm and the Lillands watch over it for her. |
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

A few days too late...
Kuje has the explanation down though, and aragorn II, I'm sure that if you do a search in the library here at Candlekeep, you'll most likely find that the Sage has discussed the Infinite Staircase on several occassions.
