- now the Tcl commands Drillcncjob and Cncjob can use the toolchangexy and endxy parameters with or without parenthesis (but no spaces allowed)

- added a new Tcl Command named SetPath which will set a path to be used by the Tcl commands. Once set will serve as a fallback path in case that the files fail to be opened first time. It will be persistent, saved in preferences.
- added the GUI for the new Open Example in the FIle -> Scripting menu.
- I am modifying all the open ... handlers to add a parameter that will flag if the method was launched from Tcl Shell. This way if the method will fail to open the filename (which include the path) it will try to open from a set fallback path.
