Jog only and be able to switch spindle and coolant on/off and touch off a tool. Any other bells, whistles and toolchanges should be programmed in the code in the first place. It shouldn't work within canned cycles or subroutines either. It doesn't on the commercial controllers I've used, and therefore don't see why that should be used as an excuse not to implement it.
