How do you activate the cheat thing? You gotta go to the config and type in what? grrr...It never tells you on any website on how to do it!

open the file Baldur.ini in your Baldur's Gate directory. Add the line Cheats=1 under the [Game Options] entry then save the file and run the game.
in order 3to type in cheats durring game play you must hit ctrl+tab

Also make sure you have a backup copy of the file incase it screws up.
