Thanks, Andy. I didn't realise the INI file worked that way.
I know about G54 etc, but if I want to read the current co-ordinates, where 
would I find them? Or do I simply use G28.1 or G30.1 then work with the values 
that puts into 5161-6? I wanted to do it without having to issue a command, 
although perhaps it wouldn't matter, except that it changes those parameters 
which I had set up for a tool change.

The answer rather depends on what you mean.

The absolute positions of the home switches are in the INI file.

The homing process finds the switches and then sets the axis absolute
(machine coordinates) position to the value from the INI file.

The origins for each reference frame (G54 for example) are stored in
the corresponding parameters (5221 to 5230 for G54)
