The positions available in HAL are not going to be the one you want. HAL is used mostly for low level stuff - motor control, etc. It doesn't have access to things like g-code offsets, tool length offsets, and all the other "interpreter-only" things that affect position. I believe there is a way to make the displays in Acis bigger, you might want to check the wiki for that.
