Lathe Post errors

[clayallen]

Can someone please help with cleaning up some of these post errors? Some (like the home position, spindle rotation & feed error ) obviously are more critical than others (comments), but it would be nice to not have to edit ALL the time. I would be happy with just a fix to the home position, program number. I am very experienced at milling post editing, but these specific lathe errors elude me.
