"say" command nonfunctional after improper cfg

This morning, my neighbour who plays Tremulous tried to create a cfg to store her clan's bind, thereby allowing her to free up a key.
She used "seta say" instead of "say" in the cfg.
"say" got broken.
I got called at 7:20AM to fix this broken "say".

The obvious route in my mind was just "\reset say", but that didn't work.
I tried a few more things, such as making a cfg that's just "seta say", and nothing has really worked.

Am I going to have to reset the autogen/replace the client for such a simple thing as "seta"ing the "say"?


Info that is mostly irrelevant:
Tremfusion 9_r3
Linux Mint 32-bit

Find any instance where it might be bound and also look in the file autogen.cfg and autoexec.cfg

You could of course backup the config file(-s) and ingame do a "reset cvars" or whatever the command was called.

remove that line from autogen.cfg and all should work.

I thought commands overrode cvars, and I seem to recall their being talk of adding a /print because they did.

Worked beautifully, thank you.

Hopefully I won't have any more early-morning wakeup calls to fix a Tremulous client. :P
