For mdi to work is very important in the real world. It saves me all
the time when things don't go quite right. A Q'ed mdi would be even
nicer, especially with a linked list so it could be traversed in either
direction. 

MDI absolutely saves me when things don't go right eg. program ignores a
G40 at the invocation of a program unless it is on the first line. eg. 

G17G20G40G49G80G90 is my typical first line. Causes no end of trouble
when I'm in cutter comp and abort. 

A more serious problem is the inability to reliably set offsets. It
would be a bug report if I could reproduce it all the time and make
sourceforge work. It seems to happen most often after and abort and
when I attempt to run from line. Nuf bitching for now. 

As always I amazed at the dedication and level of skill of the people
that write the code and fix problems. I can test and break things but
fixing them is beyond me. 

Thanks as always for all you do. 

Before anyone asks my current emc it 2.4.6/7.
