re:hand jive

Darallel,

Is this MDI? I'm on a Sherline, with MaxNC, and in that program I
provide a line of g-code, which could indeed give me a slot at an
angle. I suppose an "interactive" (?) interface could have me simply
provide a new endpoint in x,y,z coordinates. But G1 Y 1.5 is not that
bad to type. I could probably get up to "G03 X0.475 Y0.753 I-0.069
J0.040". Well, not right now.
