Using TkEmc --> scripts ---> set coordinates will give you a popup that allows you set set g54 --> g59.3. You can use the teach mode or edit the numbers directly. All axes are independent so you can set one , then move and set the next, etc and finally write the results and exit. Ray can tell you if there are any more features hidden in that popup. I use it all the time even for setting temp stuff and some not so temp positions.
