Niels, Andy and Ed Thanks for your advice and links to the solutions. I tried some of these last night on my little converted EMCO F1 mill, and I think it will solve my problems. By having a subroutines Probe_Init and Probe_Tool in two files that can be loaded directly after each TnM6 command in my GCODE file, the process becomes semi-automatic and user friendly for changing tools during a job.
The file calls can probably be inserted automatically by my CAM post-processor. I will try to add that to the PP. I will fit a probe switch to my bigger HERMLE mill in the next few days as well and try it out on a job using 4 different tools. Once again EMC2 (and its able and willing users) have come up with a good solution.
