How would I run a really short G-code file not made in Intercon or a CAM program. Along the lines of the MDI but with more than one line.

Either input them one line at a time in MDI, or save them to a file and run them just like any other program.
Cheers,

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

I use NP++ to write small programs.

You can start with a simple template like this.
