Lathe tool select

$

I'm just getting started with a Dolphin and Mach 3 lathe set up but I have a small problem with the tool select command.

When I run the post processor I get something like:

N60 ( Standard Turning Tool )
N70 M06 T1 G43 H1

Mach 3 doesn't seem to recognise T1 as a tool change command. If I manually change it to T0101 (or T0201, or whatever) then it works as it should.
Shouldn't the post processor (I'm using T_Mach3Rcss.ppx for radius mode) output the tool number and offset number in the code? Or am I missing something.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as I've spent the last three hours trying to find a solution on my own.
