    g0> You can do that but I don't think it would fix anything.  If you want

   I thought you had mentioned not to use the Ansi Editor for a while until you   
   had it dialed in.  Maybe you had done so on the 11.6 update and/or saving   
   length at 0 would be ok to do .. I'll give it a shot for sure, thats normally   
   how I fix these issues.

    g0> I think most people turn pausing off for scrolling ANSIs and/or use baud

   Yes setting a pipe code PO at the beginning normally fixes the issue also, but   
   did not in this case.   
      
    g0>    
    g0> I'll make a note of it in the TODO to look at changing the logic.   
      
      
   That would be awesome to see as well.
