And this one as an html.txt

Strange but sortable I believe.

Except that when they are moved into service, a file inter-related 
upchucks:

pyvcp_options.hal:8: Pin 'pyvcp.spindle-speed' does not exist
Shutting down and cleaning up LinuxCNC...

That looks like an order of init problem to me?  No, mix and miss-match, 
I had some stuff for a spindle-at-speed-led in the pyvcp-options.hal 
file, and some pin names missmatches.

So now what you sent up is working except the leds aren't centered. Text 
from button to button has a vertical missmatch and box is also too big 
until I make the buttons 45 x 45.  And that shrinks the hbox the buttons 
are in, leaving a blank border on the right. Left one is still too wide 
and too tall, the next 2 are narrower and too tall.

Since there no profit for you in bugging you, where can I find (url) a 
good tutorial on writing pyvcp stuff in .xml?  Google search?  I found 
the O-Reily book, downloaded it and read it, but this file, intended to 
be fed to pyvcp, has stuff in it that is not ever used in 273 pages of 
that book.  So I guess the next search is for a pyvcp tutorial

Thank you very much.
