yes, and excuse my ignorance as i ma not a mach3 expert, but it is not immediately clear to me why a pause in a sequence of moves would not be considered movement. probably i don't understand the logic behind what feed hold is really used for in practice since im not much of a machinist, but if i had a piece of gcode that had a g4 in a complicated sequence i wanted to pause, i might expect that feedhold will pause the gcode execution. or at least pause at the subsequent movement after the g4. obviously it does not as found empirically.
I agree with you and what you say but Mach3 operates the way it does and that is the way we must learn to use it.
