BLOCKDELETE is one of the features I sorely miss in PathPilot.
I ALWAYS re-gen a program after BLOCKDELETE is turned on anyway.
Mach3 did it automatically.
Seems mildly suicidal not to, IMHO.

It’s not that difficult to implement but you need to know your way around PathPilot. Just to give you an idea:
Create the button images (Photoshop)
Add the button to the Glade configuration.
Add the button handler to enable/disable the feature.
Configure the button to ignore input when a program is running.
Add code to the periodic routine to show the current button state.
Add keyboard shortcut.
This will need to be added again after each new PathPilot update.
Maybe I’m missing something, but if the operator knows whether the block of code should be executed before starting the program wouldn’t it be easier (and possibly safer) to create 2 separate program files: one including the code block and a second without?
I thought block-delete was included in the Tormach bug/feature list they used to maintain on the Web - but I don't seem to be able to find it. Has it been removed or does someone know where to find it?
