Mach3 and returning to cut position

[m_c]

Shouldn't you be using Run From Here, to resume after jogging away from the pause point?

Pause and resume will do what it says. Resume motion from wherever you've jogged to, even if that means ploughing straight through the work piece to get to the next coordinate, whereas Run From Here should do an initial move then plunge to the resume point, which you should be asked the details of to confirm the initial move is suitable.
