After creating a new shortcut(named whatever you want,(eg.'Open M4 in editor') right click and select properties.  It is in the 'Target' property that you put the aforementioned string.

Operator->Edit Screen
Create or select the button you want
In the properties tab for that button's left up script:

local rc = mc.mcAxisSetPos(mc.mcGetInstance(),mc.X_AXIS,0.0);
 rc = mc.mcAxisSetPos(mc.mcGetInstance(),mc.Y_AXIS,0.0);
 rc = mc.mcAxisSetPos(mc.mcGetInstance(),mc.Z_AXIS,0.0);

Maybe someone else knows if there is a better way but I think you need to modify your m6.mcs so that it does nothing but return.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Mach4 4612 ESS272 Spurious Response to Y+ Jog

The Y+ button has an 'Action' attached not a 'Script'.  The action is programmed action in Mach4 where a script is a editable Lua 'program'.  You can write your own script for the button and remove the action assignement.  Not recommended.  If your having odd occurrences  it is most likely mechanical/electrical.

Mach4 General Discussion / Re: Script editor strange behavior - or is it me?

Operator->edit screen.  Click the profile in the Screen Tree Manager.  Click the Events icon in the properties tab.  Click the ellipses on the screen load script.  locate the offending code, edit and save.

If you haven't watched the screen editing video it is worth a view:

Solved.  I had it wored correctly but one of my solder joints had broken under some shrink wrap.
