For jogging just look little back to the topic Jog under pause/toolchange if you lazy one then just check http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.distributions.emc.user/17898/match= and use it. When program hit's M6 you can jog machine. And Warning! Jog machine back to the position where was before M6 so be shure the path is free.
