If I remember correctly, you have to pause ("P"), press "N", and then hold
down the space bar.  As I said this is from memory so don't take my word for
it.  You'll just have to try it.  Can anyone confirm or deny this cheater?
Personally, I think you should let them have the high score and then just
barely beat it by cheating.  You can't see your score when the space bar is
down but you can keep doing the cheater until your score is high enough.  Have
fun!

By the way, what score are you up to and on what version of Tetris?  I have
almost 11,000 on the color application of Tetris (not cheating).  I start at
level 8, height 0, adv. mode off.
