Lines Ignored

Hey All,
Just got a good deal on an older shark, still not 100% sure what model. But I picked up the Shark Hd controller and pendant upgrade straight from the factory since I work very near where these things are built.
Plugged everything in, I can jog all the axes and set zeroes easy enough. It also ran one of the demo programs from V-Carve just fine (just the first part of it since my zeroes and tool were wrong for the program so I stopped it before something stupid would happen). But here is my problem. I tried running a program from Easel, which it loaded fine but ignored every line of code even after re-formatting it to match the code from V-Carve. I also wrote some Gcode manually, same thing, it ignores every line. My only clue so far is that the pendant displays the V-Carve program as you see it on the computer, but the others the lines are in series as opposed to in a row. When opened in notepad they appear identical.
eg correct
G01 XYZ
G01 XYZ
G01 XYZ
vs incorrect
G01XYZG01XYZG01XYZ
Any obvious formatting Issues I might be missing.
Also my controller and my servos run very hot even when the machine is idle, is this normal?
