SAVING IN THE MIDDLE TO BE ADDED!

I sent a letter to Interplay complementing them on this great game and
requesting the ability to save in the middle of a mission.  They
replied today saying that it would be in the regged version of the
game.  Just incase you all hadn't found out yet.

Anyone else out there in the habit of tapping the space bar to open doors?  
It's a no-no in this game.

Great game.

Part of the reason why I mapped space bar to 'fire flare'.
Flares touching doors will open them, as will laser beams.

Ka-BOOM! heh heh heh...

I remapped the spacebar; it's now my 'go back' key (you heard me right, go 
back). In fact, my configuration is sufficiently strange I'll post it here. I 
sort of derived this from the one I'm used to and then changed some for 
Descent 'cause of the extra dimensions...

  W    }  Slide up, down, left, and right.
A S D  }

Q   E  } Bank left/right

Shift  } Fire flare

CapsLock } Drop bomb

Space  } Go back

Mouse directions  } Turning

Left button	  } Fire lasers
Mid button	  } Go forward
Right button	  } Fire missile

I think that's all. Pretty unorthodoxed, eh?
