Re: 5-axis machine controller

I believe that in order to have a reasonable  machine tool controller it
is
essential that the controller allows for basic editing of the part
program such
as present in a dos edlin editor.  It is also important that  the
operator can conviently
shift from edit to save to the run mode.  Does the emc controller have
this capability?
The above comments apply to the situation where part programming is
primarily
done offline at a separate computer which I think is just fine.  If a
more sophisticated 
part program editor were available in the emc control, that would be even
better.
