[CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Mach3 homing

Thanks. It's almost embarrassing, but sometimes you just keep trying the
same things hoping for a different result ;-(

Anyway, the homing now works. Still getting a handle on what mach calls
world.

A new perplexing problem is that the X axis got reversed during the switch
installation. Not in homing, but if I jog the X in towards the chuck, the
value increases?? I can't see where it changed. I have not touched the
motor wires. Yesterday, before the home switch addition, I was machining
with the X moving correctly.
It does not matter where i set the X zero.

Regards
Roland
