That is amazing.  Thank you so much!

Please disregard that.  I found the problem tonight, and it was simply my
error.  I didn't realize that the "-kx" option would have to be given
separately from the "ctrl-add" command  in interactive mode.  I was trying
to do "-kx ctrl-add -kos:4,1,5,0.5,0" for the second controller.  Once I
started giving the "-kx" command first on its own things started working
properly.

Thanks so much,
Francis
