General Mach Discussion / Problems with Homing and more

My set up is servos running off of G320's. When I home it out, it always goes back to the same spot. When I command a G28 from the program it comes back to within .005 to .010 from the home position. I am running very slowly cutting air so I don't think it is missing steps due to to much load.
Questions:
1) Can I home the machine out from the program and reset home position?
2) What does "verify" do. Can it be commanded from a program. Will it reset zero position.
3) "G28.1 Z0." does not work like expect. I would like it to go from where it is at to the z reference switch. All axis move toward the switches. Do I have the code wrong.
4) How do I start in the middle of the program. My programs do not have line numbers. How is it intended to work. Can I start from a tool number or tool change?
5) Were did the jog indicator go in Mach 3. I went back to Mach 2 because I couldn't find it.
Any help would be appreciated.
