Hi everyone, i grabbed a bunch of plastique and threw it around the elevator door in level 4 because i read somewhere that it would be of use later in the game. The door was working at that point, but i decided to head down and get the environment suit, so I went down to the door, flicked of the robot conversion switch, went into the locked room, destroyed the last of the security and grabbed my suit. I'd saved a couple of times after leaving the lift so I'd have to go back to level 1 otherwise...
I think it's worth noting that i might have gone to level 5 then came back for the suit, if that makes a difference.
Does anyone know any commands for skipping a level? and for that matter, entering them?
Apart from unglitching the door i can't think of another way of getting to the next level.
Or... maybe i could restore the save before? are saves backed-up by dos box? or perhaps they are stored after you close dosbox? i still have it open in that case.

Sometimes elevator doors just get stuck. Not sure why this happens, as it seems to be fairly random. Double-click on the door frame and the doors should close.

I had tried what you said a few times before asking but got no result, then I fixed it, what i had to do was click as the door frame at as many different angles and positions as i could. I guess it's just random, but that seemed to fix it no problem.
Just in case that happens again, it might be worth noting for your faq section, even if there is a small chance of it happening.
