wcsg54..g59—the work-offset register to activate

Activates a taught **work offset** — the part-zero the operator set on the machine (G54…G59 registers in the work-offset table, surfaced and teachable on Setup › Offsets). All subsequent program coordinates are measured from that datum, so the same program runs on parts fixtured at different machine positions. Programmed frames (`translate`/`scale`/`mirror`/`plane`) compose *on top of* the active work offset; `frame reset` clears those programmed frames back to the bare work offset.
