Ken,
If you want to restart your program in the middle, say not at a tool change, but in the middle of a bunch of lines of code. Then you need to make sure that Setting #36 "Program restart" is turned on. If you want to start it at a tool change then it should be ok, and setting #36 can be off.
I'm not sure about the Toolroom mill, but most Haas machines are shipped with setting #36 turned off. This is so when you restart at a tool change, say 10 tools into the program, it doesn't go all the way back to the start and scan all the code to make sure everything is in order before it takes off.
It is nice (and safe) for it to this if you are starting in the middle of a huge program, but somewhat of a pain every time you restart.
Call if you need help.
