More info?)
My keyboard has the same configuration but for some reason the CLUAConsole
in Bladurs Gate worked on my old PC perfectly but not on my new one. However
I am using the keyboard that came with the new PC which has additional
functions so perhaps the that is the reason for the problem. Anyway I have
the CLUAConsole working now.
P. S. After many years of playing the original Baldurs Gate have just bought
the 'Tales of the Sword Coast' expansion and 'Baldurs Gate II' with the
'Throne of Baal'. They would not run on my old PC. I can't wait for them to
arrive so I can play them.
