So, basically you're saying, 'download "Notepad++", open the exe file and tweak the code', is my only option, OR use another text editor.
Do I have that about right?

In Shopbot Editor, when I highlight text, the highlight color is dark blue which makes the black text unreadable.
How can I change that?
Thank you Scott:
Changing to Normal Closed did the trick!
When Limit (proximity) Switches are on in VN, my upper z proximity switch doesn't stop travel, which causes a fault that turns off the Z motor which allows the spindle to drop damaging my work.

Hells Bells, look at that! Thank you Gary, you're a gentleman and a scholar!
Good point, it is the design software that is set differently for each cut.
However, I've been through the TS setup 3 times and don't see anything that mentions Z.
But I set the Safe Z differently for almost every cut, depending on clamping methods.
Updated software to 3.8.46. Have a few things I need to work out. Most troubling for me is that the Z Axis jogs up an inch when I click OK after starting the Spindle. A lot of my work is 3" tall,...
alright never mind I fingered it out, thanks for your help, jerry
Thanks, pretty sure that's what I did, PRSalpha 96x48 but obviously something didn't work right. Supposedly the unit values were provided in machine documentation but I sure can't find it. I could...
