OK. I guess it's a bug because the spindle gets stopped when you run from line, rather than leaving it in its current state. One or the other of these needs to be done: either leave modal settings the way they are, or scan through the program and apply the set of modal commands needed to put the machine in the same state it would have been had the program run from the beginning - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
