    Spindle ON automatic after stop (Alt-S)

    I am new to Mach3 I have a cnc 2 axis foam cutter, I need the spindle ON (wires ON) at Cycle Start (Alt-R) right after a stop (Alt-S), just like the HotWire Heat for Jog on the spindle set up at Ports and Pins config
    I use a M3 code in the program to turn the spindle on (wires on) but at a stop (Alt-S) the spindle turns OFF, I wish that at Cycle Start the spindle goes ON automatic, when I stop the program (Alt-S) the spindle goes OFF and this is correct otherwise the wires will burn the foam.
    Can anyone help?
