This procedure involves editing a game file; create a backup copy of the file before proceeding. Use a text editor to edit the "icewind.ini" file in the game directory. Add the line "Cheats=1" under the "[Game Options]" section. Start the game and press [Ctrl] + [Tab] to display the console window. Type "GETYOURCHEATON:EnableCheatKeys()" (case-sensitive) to enable cheat mode. Type "GETYOURCHEATON:ExploreArea()" to remove the FoW. You'll have to do this for every screen you're on; AFAIK there isn't a remove-all option.

Made this years ago on a lark.
IIRC it works for IWD:How, although the weidu .exe is likely a hundred versions out of date and may require a manual updating.

Thanks to both of you. I got the file and will use it and now, I know the proper phrase to use on the console. I was trying cheatersdoprosper instead of getyourcheaton. I used that and it works just fine. :D
