John,

After reading your post, I downloaded the Game Commander 2 demo and tried it
with N2002.  Very interesting, indeed.  I downloaded the N2002 command set
from the website, and it works great!

However, I have lots more experience with GPL than I do with N2002, and would
be curious about exactly how you use it with GPL (ie- which commands in
particular do you use it for?).  Do you use it with VROC?  If so, how do you
have it set up?

Perhaps you could provide your command file for GPL somewhere?

Planning on downloading the full version.....

Thanks for the tip.

Bert

Bert;
  GPL's a much simpler template than N2002; no pitstops, etc.  Only thing I
have commanded is "po", "pi", "sorry"....,and "np".  If you use them, you
could make "look left" and "look right" commands too, f10 view, whatever you
want.
  You may already realize this, but just doing a game's commands aren't the
end of it.  If you want, you can make a command to "say" anything you want
in any game that has a chat function.

  I.e., in N2002, you use the "t" key to start typing a message, followed by
the enter key to "transmit" it so everyone can see it.  So, you could make a
command like (t) (I lost third gear) (enter), to tell everyone you lost
third gear, for a restart, i.e.,  The () symbols are for graphical purposes
only.

  In GPL of course, it would be (enter) message body (enter).

  And yes, I use it in vroc, every week in league races.  It'll work off or
online for anything.
