      <p class="para_division">This window (which is not titled) lists the previous sub-operations. Initially only Operation - and the name of the operation are displayed. Later, each sub-operation is listed as an Engage, Cont Path, Retract or Pt To Pt sub-operation. You can edit sub-operations using this window by double clicking on the displayed name of the sub-operation.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Custom Cut Feed Rate</div>
      <p class="para_division">Custom Cut Feed Rate allows you to specify a feed rate that only applies to the continuous path sub-operation. Enter the feed rate value in the text field just below this option.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Reverse Cutting Direction</div>
      <p class="para_division">This option will reverse the direction vector established during the engage move. The button can be toggled back and forth.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Stopping Position Method</div>
      <p class="para_division">Stopping Position Method allows you to choose how you want to stop a cut along a drive surface.</p>
      <p class="para_division">You may choose one of the following:</p>
      <p align="center"><img align="bottom" src="graphics/lathe/dcl_contpafi02.gif"></p>
      <p class="para_division">Check Curve requires you to specify at least one check curve and the associated stopping position method.</p>
      <p class="para_division">Screen position allows you to pick a screen position as a stopping point.</p>
      <p class="para_division">Generic Point brings up the generic point subfunction dialog to define a stopping point.</p>
      <p class="para_division">Drive Curve End specifies to stop the tool at the end of the drive curve.</p>
      <div class="title_division">Drive Geometry</div>
      <p class="para_division">You may set the following options:</p>
      <p class="para_division">Previous CHECK allows you to change your drive curve to the curve that was the check curve on the previous move.</p>
      <p class="para_division">Previous DRIVE allows you to maintain the previous drive curve as the current drive curve.</p>
