Open the file Baldur.ini in your Baldur's Gate directory and add the line Cheats=1 under the [Game Options] entry. Then save the file and run the game.

Once in the game, press and hold the Control and Tab keys to bring up the cheat console (Control, Tab will also close this console). Type in the cheats exactly as they appear-they're case-sensitive, and don't forget the parentheses-then press Enter.
