thanks stirling
when i run that. xy go to half and when i zero the axis, the display in toolpath gose to
lower-left position. not the center of stock. in my test i did g0x2. it went to x1 and stopped.
i zeroed the axis and the spendle moved to lower-left and the table stayed at x1.

that script halves the X axis and then moves to zero.
but the zero is at bottom-left of stock, not center.
the work is set to half. so if i go to x3. i'll half that and move to
zero. and the dro is zero. but i got to mach coor it is 1.5.
so if i go to center of stock, dro says 1.5.

what i'm trying to do is....
touch edge of stock on one side and zero dro.
move to other side of stock,touch egde then half dro so that when i move to
center of stock dro reads zero.

the thing i have is the oem dro changes when i jog the axis. the user dro doesn't change
till i half the axis. after i half the axis, the user dro stays at half while the oem changes
as i jog the axis. so i have 
oem =  4
user = 4
half axis
oem = 4
user = 2

trying it in mach3. the oem dro move when i X+ or X-.
the user(dro) doesn't change til i half it. so i will need two DRO's
for each axis. one to show movement and one to show when i half.
this sounds right ?
