Yeah, you can't. > Is there a "home all" button I missed somewhere, or a way to select the > A axis besides the obvious "press the 'A' key" (which doesn't work)? Keystick development stopped before we had lathes, ABCUVW axes, home all, home sequences, spindle override, block delete, optional stop, coordinate system rotation, separate g5x and g92 offsets, tool offsets other than along Z, maybe limit override?, and probably other things that involved adding gui support that I don't think of immediately. It also appears to not handle looping (moving anything other than forward monotonically in the gcode display). Oh hey, I did actually fix it up in '10 when g5x and g92 were separated, including adding support for tool offsets. You can't tell them apart in keystick, but at least you get the proper sum of them. It probably received every fix that it needed to keep it *compiling* but no others. So it has had a bit of maintenance since the '06 import but it needs a lot more if you intend to use it and not be constantly bitten by it.
