Cant Modify Programs

I purchase a Probotix Comet recently and am starting to run the machine.

i can run programs no problem, but i cant modify them at all.

the program box is grayed out and I cant seem to figure out a way to get rid of this.

Any help would be great, Thanks.

I am not entierly sure what you mean by "program box". If you are refering to where the G code is shown at the botom of the Axis screen, then the answer is you can't. Axis is not an editor, if you click on the file menu then select edit, a text editor window should open the loaded program. If it doesn't then you need to make sure that your ini file references a valid text editor program. Once you have made the changes you need to make with the text editor (and saved it), you will have to tell axis to reload the G code for your new changes to show up.

The "edit" is grayed out when i go to file...

As Todd said, that is because either you do not have this in your ini file

[DISPLAY]
EDITOR = gedit

or you do not have gedit or whatever editor you chose, on your system.

Also you can't edit a file while it is running or paused.
