I would add:

1. The ability to separate setup and run modes more effectively.
The interface is fine for me, but I would not want to turn an employee loose
on it. The current layout allows the operator to unknowingly change things
with an errant keystroke.

2. More sample part programs (to demonstrate all functions) would
also be helpful. These are generally more useful than a programming manual.

3. The ability to customize syntax to mimic popular controllers.
i.e. G60/64 could be changed to G08/09 (per RS-274D) to allow this function
to be programed by CAD/CAM software.

4. A setup manual with useful hints and tips.

5. A tool-up command would be useful on knee mills.
