You would only need it on Z, simplest way is to restart  LCNC with a 
different config to it would search the other way to find a 3rd switch 
down toward the tail stock. But I'd think getting that calibrated might 
turn into a nightmare on elm street.

Perhaps I'm missing something that might be done with a gladevcp button 
to select which set of homing instructions to use from 2 different sets 
of data in the ini file?

Flayling away in the dark here, obvious to a casual observer, so I'll see 
any replies with interest.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
