In xemc you can press <Alt>X, <Alt>Y, or <Alt>Z, or right click on any of the
axis displays, and a little window will pop up and you can enter any value
you want for that axis' position (it defaults to 0). The effect is the same
as a G92 command. In tkemc you can only do this by the right click method
(<Alt>X will quit tkemc!). There needs to be a keyboard shortcut in tkemc for
doing this (for all I know there is, and I don't know it!).
