I tried that but I did not know how to read them. I had denemo display the char 
it produces. The resut was I believe "R" and "T" or perhaps it was "S". I may 
have done it incorrectly but it did not match those letters. I am assuming that 
this input is not a number? or string?. What kind of type is it?

Yes. This is what I was thinking. I child who could not read would have trouble 
launching the game from the menu anyway. Perhaps if someone wanted they could 
launch a denemo file with the script in it and it would start with that game on 
launching.

I will look into that.

Thats a great idea also. Or perhaps notate the sounded example. I would have to 
have a play again keybinding. 

Thanks for your suggestions. I have sometime on my hands right now. The wife 
unit has left for a week and has taken the kids to the grandmothers house.
