I think the tools are there ("run from line"), at least when O-words aren't being used--strictly the old-style g-codes. And unlike in the past, verify and run-from-line are both quite fast to process even 10,000 lines. The trick is to make it more transparent to the user -- replace pause with thi

Now, you suggested me an idea! The whole in/out thing in interfacing could be helped by shared memory! The realtime system supports some definitions on this. We just need to design all the names and their correct placement and agree on that and it can be moved there! This is much how it is done in
