M6 tool change command and the BDI

Hi everyone,

I am running the BDI EMC on a Pentium laptop to control a Sherline 5400
mill. My question is this, given that I have the tool table properly loaded
with descriptions of my tools and that there is obviously no tool changer on
the Sherline what should happen when the following block of g-code is
executed?

N10 T10 M6

My expected behavior is to be prompted to insert the proper tool and press
run or resume. This is the behavior seen on DeskNC and others. What does
happen is nothing, it's as if EMC just ignores the tool change command.

I may have something configured incorrectly and if so I would appreciate
help with this problem. I really don't want to have a separate program for
each tool change in making a part.
