A bunch of people yelled at me for doing it this way. It seems that the
G92 is good for offsetting a part from a fixture, or a second part from
the first, or temporary change in coordinates.

The easiest thing to do is to place the cursor over the axis to be changed
and then hit the right mouse button. A dialog box should pop up that allows
you to set the coordinates for that axis. You can, of course, set the coord.
to .1, -.1 or some similar value to compensate for the radius of an edge finder
or similar device.
