I've done something like that although I ran into issues at some point. Haven't gotten back to it so I don't remember the problems I ran into. However this page I think shows how you create the G code command as a MDI command. http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Adding_Custom_MDI_Buttons You'd just need 4 buttons and four MDI_COMMAND0, MDI_COMMAND1, MDI_COMMAND2 and MDI_COMMAND3. You can try that all on your own mill before you even get to the beagle.
