Error on QTPlasmaC:

(I am running it in a virtual desktop on my in house laptop {was going to bring the machine in house to update}, but I'll wait)

I was loading the Landscape and the 4:3 metric versions of QTPlasmaC if it makes a difference,

I am guessing that its a "]" missing somewhere (no line number given in the error)

Robert, If you start linuxcnc from the command prompt, it will show the path to machine.tcl.

I have used the ISO install + buildbot (idiotproof setup in case I do something wrong and need to start again with my learning, and a quick start again)

How hard would it be to provide the same functionality the estop GUI button has to the POWER button?

Reason being that I've been playing around with a safety relay and it requires a momentary switch (eg. the green button in the pic) to reset the relay after an estop so it does not make sense to also require a gui button press.

Early days yet...

The green button seems more like a Estop reset than a power button to me.
