Do away with "offset"

I personally find the use of "offset" on the Control page confusing, as opposed to the more popular use of "work coordinates" and "machine coordinates". I realize it's just a matter of math ("Offset is equal to Absolute - Position"), but it's a lot harder for me to envision what's going on like this.
Seems like it would as simple as adding a subtraction operation to the code and changing the label from "offset" to "Work Coordinates". This is a far more common means of showing the two values and would be immensely easier to follow in my opinion.
