Thanks for the response

You have wetted my curosity with that link :-)
Does it work out that much of Quake is scripted?
Is that how many fixes are provided (by changing the script?)
I have never really explored how Quake 1 "works".

Yes, that would be nightmare :-)

Around the central pool of acid there are 4 sections (some sections bigger 
than another).
Effectively rather like a huge-cross (use Notepad to copy-and- paste)
Now, near the centre pool, diagonally between sections, there is a 
rectangular black box and a spore inside it.
Nothing ever seems to activate it.

Yes seen that. There is Nail ammo within.
It only opens up once you leave the start area.

>>And a hidden lift on E2M3 near the start - can you enter it?
Further notes: This is after going over the bridge across water from the 
start and at that point you can turn left/right along the walkway. But 
literally staight ahead, not turning left/right though solid wall is an 
active lift - but unreachable I think.

I have also discovered other hidden (again I think unreachable) areas on:
E3M1 (a passageway connecting exit with platform over acid where Quad damage 
is openly available)
also     (another passageway near where silver key is located)
HIP1M1 (what looks like a design closeouts near start)
Catacombs (passage linking initial catacombs with castle)
HIP1M6 (a passageway and lift near hammer)

You are right. I could certainly do this. But this is brand new to me.
Do you know of any URL just to get up to speed on this?
I never understood the relationship between "Quake-C" and "Quake"
