Nope.   Not naïve.  

Since we can read the status of the indicators as an 'out' something just needs 
to be changed to be able to set/reset that indicator.  The 'out' value is 
likely read by the button press to know which axis to touch off.  

In Delphi or Lazarus Object Pascal the code to do this sort of things is a no 
brainer.  But tcl and python together with who knows what else is to me at the 
moment unreadable.  I started redoing the AXIS user interface in Lazarus but 
other projects got in the way.  I think I stopped when I had to first create 
all the little picto icons along the top bar.  I did get far enough along to 
interpret the G-Code and fill in the window with the setable G-Code values.

However, to clone AXIS one actually has to understand how it works for the 
connection to LCNC and I'm not there yet.  Project #42  ;-)
