I still use the setup from before they changed the way you could map
keys. Originally, you could map multiple commands to a single key. I have
my 5 and 6 hot boxes mapped to left and right respectively. So, whenever I
go left, I trigger 5 and when I go right, I trigger 6 ;)

There's got to be a way to edit that file... hrm... looks like I have a new
quest.
