    TurboCNC reads .txt files; I do not rename them in V3.24 (nor in older V3.1a) and everything works fine. Are you getting "file not found" warnings or ...what are the symptoms?

    i am getting file not found with txt files. right click rename works.

    now comes the fun part of getting this program to make stuff using the xylotex board and the 116oz/in motors.
