In plain English, does this mean that when you load this program, you

assistant: Here are all of the cheat codes for raptor
 Cheat Codes
 Cheat Codes
The backspace key will restore all your energy and give you a death ray, at
the
cost of all your
money.  This will only work in the registered version.
Debug Mode:
Set the environment variable "S_HOST" to the value "CASTLE" at the DOS prompt
by typing
"SET S_HOST=CASTLE</B>" (it must be in caps).  Then, when you play Raptor,
ou
become
completely invincible, and have all the weapons at your disposal.  In
addition,
you can skip
levels by starting them, hitting [esc], followed by [n]; you'll be returned
o
the hangar, and when
you exit again, you'll be on the next level.
There is a level warp built into the game, so you can see any level you want
at
any time.  What
you need to do is to get to the screen where you see the level selection
(Bravo
Sector, etc...).
The warp combination is a 2 key entry.  The keys are not to be pressed at the
same time.
Note that you cannot use the level warp unless debug mode (see above) is
active.
Key 1 - Z, X, or Y (Z is Episode 1, X is Episode 2, and Y is Episode 3)
Key 2 - Any key between Q and O on the keyboard.  Q is Level 1, and O is
evel
9.
This works in both the shareware and registered versions.  Note that if you
try
to warp to a
registered level from the shareware episode, you will crash the game.

assistant: James,
    Joe is spread way to thin to rely on to respond. He is trying to
  cover so many forums that his responses are very intermittent.
  Sometimes he will respond to questions that are irrelevant, and
  other times he will not respond to very pertinent questions. It
  seems to vary with how busy he is at the time. You can always tell
  when he has spare time as you will then see about 6-10 responses from
  him at a time. Then there will be another long stretch with no sign
  of for a week or so.
    I think you will probably find that if you just post a general
  question to this echo, that someone will answer it if they know the
  answer. Joe seems to at least read everything posted, so you might
  even get lucky & hear from "the boss"!

for some time now. Love the game. The best 3D game I've seen so far. Now I
can get most everything, but in game two, level eight there is a secret on
the right side just before the door to the room to the elevator. It's a big
maze with several Big Bosses (big blue guys as we call them) and one ups.
Someone was kind enough to give me a map, but where I get stuck is that some
walls move back and block the next "push" section of the wall. How do you get
around them? I've tried several different tricks but I still can't figure it
out. There's also a secret level on another Wolfenstein game. When you come
out of the elevator and go around 180 degrees and go to the stone section and
take the door to the right you get attacked by mutants. There's also a way of
moving the walls around to get something. I get one wall wrong all the time
and can't find what's behind there. If you can help it would be greatly
appreciated.
