Tim, Ray,Ed, Allen,

I have been running with Ray's suggested change to the .ini file
as follows:

RS274NGC_STARTUP_CODE = G20 G92.3

So far I seemed to have had one episode where saved parameters
were not displayed on startup, but most times everything works
perfectly. The one episode I would actually discount because I
didn't write down what the sequence of events were. It might have been
a mistake I made.I will try to log down things better in the future.
I am still doing a quick MDI command to confirm g92 status
before I start a program because the offsets are not shown
in the main coordinate position display.

Actually right now I am working more with carving things! Tonight
I am trying to correct the grammar in a 30 line poem to be carved
by EMC in a cedar plaque. Cemetery work.I am charging $50 per square foot.
So I was doing some C code this morning, and poetry now!
Oh well I had a couple composition and literature courses before
engineering school. I wish the poem was in c though!
