Is this a one-time situation or something that that will be rolled out out over a multitude of jobs. If it is the latter and something that widespread in the shop, then I would edit the GPP file of the post to substitute the G83 call, the feedrate and add the thro' coolant codes. For the former, well, this approach works but you could end up with lots of different versions of the post - not a good idea.
