I have never tried this, because I can use the feed override to get 10
steps, from .1 to 1 IPM, which is pretty slow.  I often use .2 or .3
when picking up an edge with an edge finder, or using a piece of paper
for Z axis setting.

Nevertheless, it should be fixed.  But, I'm more concerned with the
fact that the 15-Mar-2000 TkEmc GUI doesn't run reliably on a
number of computers.
