Thank you... yes, after I realised I'd not tried E I went back and it worked fine. Sorry to be such a pest.

This probably makes me seem like an idiot, but I am stuck at the point where Freeman is required to board the airboat. The woman raises the doors but I can't get Freeman into the boat. Every time I try (jumping, running, crouch/jump even) he slides off and into the muck. It's driving me crazy! I...
