There are always problems with commands run within scripts since they 
frequently evaporate when the script ends. That is why I chose to run 
the game from within the script instead of expecting it to continue 
running after the script was finished.

The above requires telling the game where I/O is located. I use several 
windows and can't predict the window from which the script might be run. 
/1 is the standard output path, thus the path used by the script. All 
communication to/from the game is redirected to the script path thus the 
<>>>; < = input, > = output, >> = error output.

There is always more than one way to make things work with computers. 
You may get "ex rogue %1" if you redirect I/O correctly. Also, rogue is 
a slow starter taking 5-10 seconds to start after loading.
