if you can enter the commands and paramaters from the console, then you can 
also put them in an 'autoexec.cfg' and put that in the \Quake4\q4base\ 
folder and it will run every time you start the game.  You can also re-run 
that .cfg by dropping the console and type:  exec autoexec

Yikes! spoke too soon.

For some reason, I cant seem to be able to get the autoexec to run
automatically, I can exec it fine out of the console but everytime I strat a
new game, its back to the same old slow walk.

What am i doing wrong?

TIA.:)

Well, Quake4 is a New game, it may not look for any file other than 
Quake4config.cfg which it may or may not overwrite each time it runs or 
exits, whichever the dev chose.  Mmm, you could put it in the command line 
and it would exec on startup:  add  -exec autoexec.cfg  to the cmd line.

Interesting. I'll have to strace the process on Linux to see what files it 
looks at on startup.

What commands do you use to set the walk/run speed?

" pm_walkspeed 300 "( for fast speed)

I also had to add a line to invert the walk/run config : " in_alwaysRun 0"


Cheers and TIA!

Have a poke around in here:
http://ucguides.savagehelp.com/Quake4/Quake4Guide.htm
And go through their commands list and scripts.
