G code

When I "HOME" the XYZ tables, it resets the software to X=0 Y=0 Z=0.

Most of the programs I see have the first lines "G00 X0 Y0 Z0, which
I understand to be accelerates and positions to the coordinates
"X0 Y0 Z0".
This would mean it moves to very near the my "HOME" position.

I would like to move the work piece nearer the tool as G00 X=0 Y=0
means the table has to travel a lot of unneccesory distance, to do
this I would have something like "G00 X=95 Y=850 Z=0" for the first
line.

Is this the correct way to do it?
