For best text editor my vote is TECO. It's the tits.

================================================== ==



That's good to know. Wordpad is not quite cutting it for the "FNC" file

requirement of the GR510, apparently the haas controllers don't like dot

TXT.


Oh for god's sake. Do NOT try to use TECO for your G-code.

That was a (admittedly esoteric) joke.
It has been said by others that a TECO command line most closely resembles transmission line noise.

Use plain old Windows NOTEPAD if that is all you've got. Save it without any extension, but put the period at the end of the file name:

"O12345." is what you need.

That's an alphabet O, not a zero.
