Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: controller inputs

After a clue from Bob, I found "E-Stop/Hold Line" in CNCpro that gives
me a clue.

". On the other hand, when used as a Hold Line, CNC Pro will temporarily
pause program
execution and allow for user recovery. Consider these options carefully
when deciding on the
purpose of this switch control. "

And I just recalled TurboCNCs "PLC handshake" (M72/73) which could be
implemented.
