RE: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Keyboard Typematic rate

Hi, Alan:

I'll be playing with it later today. Right now, I'm adding some variables to
allow more than one G-Code or M-Code on a line. This is the "grouping" that
EMC provides. It's really not all that difficult an addition.

It's a real interesting turn of events. When I bought my Sherlines about a
year ago, I never thought that I'd be adding motors to them, let alone start
writing (abeit modifying) software to drive them. It's been a really fun
experience. Thanks to the folks on this list for providing a lot of the
initial advice through your answers to my questions as well as your answers
to everyone elses.

I also never thought that I'd be resurrecting DOS and the DOS tools
(TurboPascal, etc.) that I'd discarded years ago.
