G0 X0 Y0 Z0 will MOVE to that position.

Entering G92 X0 Y0 Z0 will set the relative coordinate system TO that
value at
the CURRENT position. This coordinate offset witll then hold as long as
you don't
shut the computer down, for the most part.

As far as repeating a move over and over, there is an incremental modal
parameter
which allows a command such as G01 X0.123 to move the X axis 0.123" from
where
it is now. I don't have a reference handy to see which one of the G
codes it is, but
it DOES work in EMC, I have tested it. It is also possible to use the
stored parameters
to add a value to a parameter, and then use that parameter as a
coordinate to go to.
