For those who can not always remember the correct sequences of Peck
Drilling etc, I might recommend an add on "Clipboard". I use one called
"Clipomatic" and it is freeware. (google will find it)

What it really is is a Clipboard that "caches" all of your Ctrl-C (copy)
commands so you can recall them at any time. Instead of "pasting" with
Ctl-V, you use Ctrl-Alt-V.

The COOL part is you can SAVE "ClipSets", which in the case of writing
G-Code, Create a Set of Pasteable code. Any of those trickier to
remember G commands are no more than a Ctrl-Alt-V away, all you need to
do then is insert different values for the locations. I have found it
runs absolutely transparent.
Just a handy little program.
