I downloaded some caligraphic script, Basically old english,and added it to my fonts list.That being done it also appears in my cad fonts listing.Then I did a name using that font and saved it as a dxf file. Then I brought it into sheetcam Ran it in that software and exported it to Mach3.The problem is the Gcode is peppered with "M00" commands [stops] so one is forever restarting the G code ....any suggestions appreciated...

Sounds like you have the wrong post processor selected. I would guess that you are using a post that is designed for a machine with a manually operated Z axis so it stops on every Z move.
