Try G92A0

Yes you can edit TkEmc, just change "actual" to "commanded" - around line
530 I believe. You could probly find the other stuff too, it's just a text
file.

The offsets can be written to the .var file with G92.2 - that also zeros
them so you have to recall them with G92.3   EMC writes them out and zeros
the offsets when a program ends too.  The G92 codes work like this:

G92 sets an offset for axis - G92X.5Y.25 will reset the display for X and Y
to .5 and .25.

G92.1 Cancels offsets and zeros the offsets in the .var file
G92.2 Cancels offsets and SAVES them in the .var file
G92.3 Restores the offsets from the .var file
