Heh, it is funny :) >Can someone see if I'm on the right track. >The following is where I'm at: > >Opened 'gedit' >Opened emc2 >Opened configs >Opened smill.ini (I named my mill smill -Sherline mill) And here is where you see why "simple, step by step instructions" fail. You named your configuration "smill", someone else names theirs "my-mill", someone else has a lathe, someone else names the config "Bridgeport1". Things get confusing when the instructions have to like this: [...] Open the configuration named the same as you used in step 3 Open the file with the extension ".ini", with the same name as the configuration you're modifying. [...] At some point, the user must think about what they're doing, and step-by-step instructions with placeholders like those above will make less sense than "open the ini file in the editor of your choice, and make the following changes".
