it should work just fine. The feature is just difficult to use because you cannot see what you're typing in.
remember to change the .ini file and add
enableconsole=1
since it is a steam game, there may be two .ini files for the game. they are likely located in...
C:\Users\?you?\Documents\My Games\koto2
and/or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\kotor2\kotor2
Thanks. I appreciate the help.
