    I have been using the Cimco editor for many years.
    The communications part is a "plain vanilla" ASCII terminal.
    It works quite well for what you are trying to do.
    Since it is sending the posted G-code, it has no "functionality".
    It sends what Mcam posts, plain and simple.
    ObrienDave. MasterCam since V6. Gcode since 1983.
