I have:

[HAL]
HALUI = halui
HALFILE = GO704fast.hal
HALFILE = custom.hal
POSTGUI_HALFILE = postgui_call_list.hal
SHUTDOWN = shutdown.hal

[HALUI]

[TRAJ] ...

It appears that the [HALUI] section is blank, and that I do NOT recall 
removing a whole stanza of MDI etc stuff.  I would have commented it 
out, but would never have removed it.

How would I go about generating or regenerating as the case may be, the 
missing [HALUI] .ini file stuff?

I have this in the main .hal file:
GO704fast.hal:net joint-select-a        halui.joint.0.select
GO704fast.hal:net x-is-homed            halui.joint.0.is-homed
GO704fast.hal:net jog-x-pos             halui.jog.0.plus
GO704fast.hal:net jog-x-neg             halui.jog.0.minus
GO704fast.hal:net jog-x-analog          halui.jog.0.analog
GO704fast.hal:net joint-select-b        halui.joint.1.select
GO704fast.hal:net y-is-homed            halui.joint.1.is-homed
GO704fast.hal:net jog-y-pos             halui.jog.1.plus
GO704fast.hal:net jog-y-neg             halui.jog.1.minus
GO704fast.hal:net jog-y-analog          halui.jog.1.analog
GO704fast.hal:net joint-select-c        halui.joint.2.select
GO704fast.hal:net z-is-homed            halui.joint.2.is-homed
GO704fast.hal:net jog-z-pos             halui.jog.2.plus
GO704fast.hal:net jog-z-neg             halui.jog.2.minus
GO704fast.hal:net jog-z-analog          halui.jog.2.analog
GO704fast.hal:net joint-select-d        halui.joint.3.select
GO704fast.hal:net a-is-homed            halui.joint.3.is-homed
GO704fast.hal:net jog-a-pos             halui.jog.3.plus
GO704fast.hal:net jog-a-neg             halui.jog.3.minus
GO704fast.hal:net jog-a-analog          halui.jog.3.analog
GO704fast.hal:net jog-selected-pos      halui.jog.selected.plus
GO704fast.hal:net jog-selected-neg      halui.jog.selected.minus
GO704fast.hal:net spindle-manual-cw     halui.spindle.forward
GO704fast.hal:net spindle-manual-ccw    halui.spindle.reverse
GO704fast.hal:net spindle-manual-stop   halui.spindle.stop
GO704fast.hal:net machine-is-on         halui.machine.is-on
GO704fast.hal:net jog-speed             halui.jog-speed 
GO704fast.hal:net MDI-mode              halui.mode.is-mdi
GO704fast.hal:    setp halui.max-velocity.count-enable true
GO704fast.hal:    setp halui.max-velocity.direct-value true
GO704fast.hal:    setp halui.max-velocity.scale 20.000000
GO704fast.hal:net max-vel-override-incr   =>  halui.max-velocity.counts
GO704fast.hal:    setp halui.spindle-override.count-enable true
GO704fast.hal:    setp halui.spindle-override.direct-value true
GO704fast.hal:    setp halui.spindle-override.scale .01
GO704fast.hal:net spindleoverride-incr  =>  halui.spindle-override.counts

So that does give me a list of signal source names.

My toy mill has some of that stuff, but its all commented out with a 
leading #.  And it does not look to be related to the camview  "find a 
mark" stuff, more like driving it with a gamepad or similar.

Obviously I've forgotten how to tie this stuff together as it was over a 
year ago when I was fine tuning the camera on the toy, which has since 
been knocked off by an errant 3/8" bolt sticking up out of a wood 
carving jig. :(  I need to find time to repair and remount that, or move 
it to this machine, a tempting thought.  Unforch, that camera has 
vanished from fleabay.  Sigh.  Shoulda bought a 5 pack for a $100 bill 
when I had the chance 18 months ago. Hindsight, 20-05 every time. :(

Cheers, Gene Heskett
