Tutorial on how to use exec command
Description: The exec command in a nutshell allows you to run/start a script or file from the ut2004 console.
Why would I care: This command can allow you to run many set input/set file.extention commands via just one click of a button. This is usefull if you want to have mutliple keyboard layouts and or user.ini/ut2004.ini config changes at different times during your gaming experience in ut2004.
