We have had a few problems with the EMC interpreter error messages
getting through to the gui like they are supposed to. backplot, if you
run it with the power off to your stepper machine will show the progress
of the tool. If you have placed a "gohome" at the end of the program it
should show the tool at the home location when the program has finished.

If you are running with % at the start and end of the program the
highlight will be one line behind what is being executed. In this case,
backplot will show the wrong color for some moves.

You can get at most interpreter error messages by running the program
using the script MDI_Input and load and run the file using that window.
You can see other error messages by running the emc in a terminal window
and turn debug to the max in your ini file.
