	I discovered something about the lava by accident, and a fairly
  costly one at that: the lava is REALLY explosive - like missiles.  This
  can be EXTREMELY useful:

	Suppose you're in level 2 (the one with the very large room near
  the start), and you're going to get the red keycard, which is defended
  by about 4 or 5 robots.  As you may recall, there'a large lava pit in
  the middle of the room, which at least one of the robots is always
  directly above.  Instead of aiming at the robot, aim at the lava right
  below it and fire a blast or two.  The blasts will cause the lava under
  it to explode, and blow the robot above it apart!  Also, since the shots
  are sufficiently far from the robot, it won't try to dodge the blasts!
  The Vulcan can be nice here: it's extremely high rate of fire turns the
  lava into an exploding pool of fiery death (what vivid language :).  This
  also can work well against humans: fire above them so they dive into the
  lava, then blast the lava around them.  Either you'll kill them, or 
  they'll accidentally shoot the lava and commit suicide - you get their
  stuff either way.
