I have played a Little bit arround, you can a custom Screen witch has the double width of your single Monitor and enlarge the Mach3 window over your two Monitors.
thean you can have (by copy paste) both on the new Screen.

if you go to diagnostic page you can see Machine Coords.
if one of These is out of the range you have defined in Config -> homing/Limits
you are not allowed to turn softlimits on, that is what the errormessage means.

you can  use your Y- and Y- Switch as reference (home) Switches.
just use the same port/pin Setting for home Switches.

have a look a chapter 4.5

after you have homed your machine you can use softlimits and slow Zone.

to bring your 0/0 (home) for a part into the Center off your table you can use G54 and following
work Offsets.

VB and the development of wizards / Re: How to get the last pressed button's oem code?

no, not realy, but you can set/reset OEMLed's in the button script and read those in an other script. you may also use an
OEMDro and set them in the button script.

f.e:
buttonscript off button1 set OEMDro to 1
buttonscript off button2 set OEMDro to 2

and the other script reads the OEMDro
