Just MDI a move, example Click the MDI line type G0X10 then press the enter key and your axis should move to 10, so if it was previously on 0 it would move 10 units (Inch or mm depending on your setup)
You can do the same for Y and Z axis.

It is G0 (Zero )not the letter O and you dont use the leading 0 in the axis move distance. Not sure if it makes a difference but you would normally just have G0X10 or you can have G00X10

yeah, you're right it won't accept the letter o
I typed it right in the machine...don't know why
I added an extra letter when I typed it here....

nevertheless, I am going to try from the xoyo position
instead of machine home to see if that makes a difference
and I need to find out if I am on absolute or incremental
