Well, I tried it again this morning and it worked. The only thing I did different was to move the G40 ahead of the G01 on the one line and move the G41 D4 ahead of the G01 on the next line. Then I saw the response from Ed suggesting putting the G41 D4 on a separate line (which now I don't have to do). Thanks Ed.
