That's exactly right - typically A is in degrees.  EMC2 does
coordinated motion with any combination of linear and rotary axes.  If
you're going to do coordinated motion (using the A for anything but
simple indexing) you should read about how to specify feed rate, which
gets a little complicated.  See page 103 of the user manual, sections
"Rotational Axes" and "Feed Rate" specifically.
