I used hoonose's suggestion in console, and it worked perfectly. It also retained it the next time I started the game, so I think it is safe to assume
that it does, indeed, put it in your cfg file for you. Thanks Hoonose, for the easiest fix I have seen posted for joystick enabling in MOH.
(You wouldn't BELIEVE some the the fixes I have seen in other forums, including writing whole sub-routines

)
