    I'll take a look at that. It's nice to hit a key and outline, but I do hav to grab a mouse to start.

    Can't remember how many things I started engraving when I was trying to turn the light on or type a "2". The F2 key is GONE on my keyboard. I have the footswitch sitting next to the machine, it (usually) and the mouse (occasionally) is how I start the machine. And I try never to use the mouse anyway even to turn on the light since I've hit 'mark' button more than once instead of the light button...

    having to answer a dialog box every time is a good failsafe, but I'm guessing 'no' is right next to 'yes', so with a mouse, I'd probably go wrong there too!
    All in all, I'd rather NOT have the yes/no box, too many jobs where I repeatedly hit the switch to repeat... but if it's optional, that's a good thing.

    Are you Realy ? Really? Darn chinglish! But you are right, it prompts to start.and there are several things there to play with.
    Kev you can hit f2 and then the enter key to start it. I should use the foot switch it would be just as easy.
