I'm trying to add the ability to start running a Gcode file from a specified line number, and I'm getting an unexpected result. If I load a file, single-step it a few lines, I can then select any other line, and run from that point forward. But if I don't do those first single-steps at the beginning of the file, trying to run from a selected line does nothing. I do get the callbacks, but the line number does no increment. It seems there is something that's happening when the first lines of the file are parsed that does not happen if they are not. Any idea what is going on, and whether it can be worked around?

Regards,
Ray L.

Oops! Bonehead error. The file I was testing with only sets feedrate in those first few lines, so when I skipped them, I was asking ti to do a G1 with F=0.
