I hadn't tried to look in the docs yet except deep enough to find that a loadable subroutine HAD to be in the nc_files directory. I was looking for the reason that a loadable routine was not being found when it was in the same subdir off nc_files that I had put all the pcb2gcode output files into. Like most of us, my nc_files directory has turned into a junk yard, with much of it needing sorted into subdirs that are named more descriptive of what this group might be able to do, like the carving of mortises and tenons when I'm making furniture. > I just noticed the reference I found was > in the 2.5 version of the Integrator manual, but it does not appear in > the 2.4 version.
