If you have slaved axes on your gantry, in Mach3 v3.x VB Programmers Reference Manual you will find the following:

Art also wrote this... and I found the complete "Refcombination" listing here....
"Art wrote.... The home switches, (which may be set to the same input as the limit
switches), are used only for homing. The axis will move to the switch, then
slowly move off.
The program by default does one at a time, because thats the most usual
combination. YOu CAN move any combination at once by editing the RefAll
buttons script. There is a command called RefCombination( n ) which will ref
any combination of the axi s. N is calcuated by adding the following
numbers..
X - 1
Y - 2
Z - 4
A - 8
B - 16
C - 32
Ref X and Y together would be RefCombination( 3 )
Hope this Help
