Ok, after you go back to MDI and do the rapid move (G0X0), if you then 
do a feed move such as G1X1 without respecifying the F parameter, does 
the move occur at F=2 or F=25?

1. If it runs at F=25, we have a big problem.

2. If it runs at F=2, and the display changes back to F2, then we have a 
small problem in that we are displaying the last active feed rate, and 
not what is programmed into the "F" register of the control.

I wouldn't expect the "F" display to change as a result of executing a 
rapid move in MDI, or jogging in manual mode.
