the current manual describes: http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/gcode/overview.html#_numbered_parameters_a_id_sub_numbered_parameters_a
---- 5420-5428 Current Position including all offsets and in the current program units for X, Y, Z, A, B, C, U, V & W. In absolute machine coordinates, volatile. ----- that's a bit confusing, I guess it should say: 'Current position for X, Y, Z, A, B, C, U, V & W, relative to the current offsets (G5x, G92), in current program units. Volatile." that said: there is still no way to retrieve the current *absolute* machine position, that is, without any offsets. I think it would be valuable to have, and have a tentative patch for it using predefined named parameters (#<_abs_x> etc); probably an equivalent in #54xx makes sense.
