I just downloaded the free trial and I can send programs to the machine with no problems, but the queue on the easydnc screen does not clear. It sends all the program and says 100 percent, but I have to clear the pc everytime before sending a program again?

If you want to send the same data again you shouldn`t need to clear the queue.
When you hit the SEND button it changes to to a PAUSE | STOP button.
When the progress bar reaches 100% the button is supposed to change back to SEND so that you just need to hit the send button again to re-send the same data.
If at 100% the button sticks with PAUSE | STOP (if the send button doesn`t re-appear) then it means that the CNC closed the port before easyDnc had quite finished sending. This isn`t a problem, probably just tape trailer or some control data that the CNC doesn`t need. In this case just hit the STOP button and that resets easyDnc (Makes the START button re-appear) so that you can re-send the same data.

I am considering this software. Is it possible to send using the keyboard if I want to? The dos based package I use at the moment sends with enter and resets with esc. The program is highlighted in standards windows.
I prefer this to using the mouse on repetetive drip feeding jobs.(wet or dirty hands etc!)

easyDnc has a 'Repeat' option which allows you to restart a drip feed operation simply by hitting cycle start on the CNC so you don't need to go back to the computer at all.
Make sure you have the latest version of the software and look at the 'help' button next to each option in the setup.
