As nearly as I can tell, Axis always jogs in inch units, 
even in G21 mode, even when displaying millimeters.

Fire up Axis, F1 & F2 to get started, F5 & type G21 for 
metric units, View -> Show MM, then F3 to get manual 
controls. Select X axis, pick 0.1 jog increment from the 
list, then click the + button: the displayed X position 
changes by 2.54 mm. Yikes!

Seems like it ought to change by 0.1 mm.

I -think- that means Axis must keep track of the G20/G21 
state and update its stepping value accordingly.

Of course, that might be a whole lot trickier than it 
seems... as is always the case with software!
