Double Stepping???

Hi Jerry,

I think you'll find that absolute mode is most useful. No cumulative
errors, you always know where you are (instead of having to "add up" the
moves) IMO. Relative mode is useful in subroutines, and can
simplify/shorten some things like drill programs (G81). That can get
quite complicated! I stick to ABS.

We learn best by making mistakes! Or as one of my Amateur Radio friends
puts it, we learn by breaking!
