Help adding extended work offsets (G54.1 Pxx) to Stepcraft post processor

Hi, I have found that the Stepcraft post processor will not generate the G54.1 Pxx work coordinate systems. It will only do the original G54 through G59 but I really need the extra offsets for my application.
Here is a snippet from the Stepcraft post defining the WCS...
// wcs definiton
wcsDefinitions = {
useZeroOffset: false,
wcs : [
{name:"Standard", format:"G", range:[54, 59]}
]
};
Looks like it only can accept those six integers. Here is the same snippet from the Fanuc post...
// wcs definiton
wcsDefinitions = {
useZeroOffset: false,
wcs : [
{name:"Standard", format:"G", range:[54, 59]},
{name:"Extended", format:"G54.1 P", range:[1, 300]}
]
};
Is this all it takes to add the support to the Stepcraft post? I'm not really a programmer, so I know that it could be much more complicated than this, but I thought it was worth asking.
And if it is more than just changing this snippet, can anyone tell me what else needs to change?
Thanks!!
