There is another alternative, Sir... I can't see calling someone I don't know boy, sorry.
In the Machining Operation Mangler right click on the operation you wish to change. Choose Toolpath Editor which is at the bottom. Step through the path and find the points that you need to change so you don't rapid up between chains.
I don't find Mastercam's toolpath editor to be very elegant or very intuitive. In addition, when you use Mastercam's toolpath editor you break the associativity between geometry and toolpath.
Both you and Mike might want to play around with Mastercam's Toolpath Editor and see if your opinions differ from mine.
