Thank You!

I _think_ that executing appropriate toolchange command in MDI would
tell interpreter, which entry from tooltable should be used further
on. Does it answer Your question of a clean way to do it?

Speaking of MDI, I somehow feel that executing MDI commands during
pause might be a way to adjust some modal conditions without
interrupting execution of code (unless they are reapplied in the code
later on). Unfortunately I cannot think of an useful example :)

How does this proposal affects ability to run MDI commands, when paused?
