I've gotten to level 14 "Colony ship for sale-cheap", but I'm stuck.  I
can't get past the big room with all the elevators.  I can get on the
one that is up a little way, but the rest are all down and I can't make
any of the switches move except for the one on the wall.  Please help.

Yep, that was a bitch.  See the one in the middle?  The switch for that 
is on the far side of the room with the elevators.  While the middle 
elevator door is in the down position, line the two elevators closest 
to the door up so that it forms a ramp of sorts.  You will have to make a 
journey all the way  around then flip switches to line all these up 
properly.  once you have the first two lined up, hit the switch so you 
can see how high the middle one goes up.  once you determine that, line 
the two tall elevators up so that it forms another ramp.  then run up to 
the middle one, hit the switch, and skip up then next two elevators into 
the high passage.  hit the switches twice to make the elevator stop where 
you want it to.
