Re: feedrate

I'm sorry to take so long to get back - my computer at work has decided it
won't send mail anymore so I'm trying from home.  Ray I'm not using the MDI
script just the MDI mode in TkEmc.  Matt, The feed rate in the status bar
changes but if I do a linear move it uses the correct feedrate that was
previously programmed - the F# displayed in the status bar remains wrong
though.  So it's just a small problem :)
