That isn't a bug.  That's the way it's documented.  That's the way it's supposed
to work.  It's a lot of fun disintegrating imps with a punch.  :-)

And that is exactly what it is supposed to do. Why, it's even in the 
manual. (you *have* paid for it, haven't you?)

    Well, Beserk can only be found as an item in the registered version
of DOOM, so you must have registered your copy.  The manual that comes
with the game - you do have the manual, don't you?  - has an entry about
Beserk Packs that ends with "Duration: One Level"  Beserk is designed
that way.  Since you probably haven't read the manual, you should.  It's
pretty funny at places.  And besides, it might clear up other
misunderstandings.

Type it a few times in a row. Then get a dictionary and look up the definition
of the verb "toggle." :)

Then why the hell (not funny, stop laughing!) does the screen seize to go
red huh? I wouldave thought that if it lasts for the whole level then the screen
should be red all level.

I wasn't laughing.  Maybe smirking a little...  :-)

Nope.  The docs say that it lasts all level, and I'd guess that they have a
standard function which overlays a colour for x seconds, plus it's hard to see
with it on...
