Simulating the SINUMERIK 840D "CIP" Circle definit

Does anyone have a hint on how to get the CIP circle definition for a 840D controller working.
CIP circles are arc's defined by endpoint and intermediate point. The beauty of this option is that it can produce arc's on inclined planes.
A can't seem to find the correct macro's to use, in defining the adresses in the Vericut controller.
:!: Please help :!:

Here's the Siemens description of CIP.

Programming a circle with intermediate and end
points
You can use CIP to program arcs. These arcs can also
be inclined in space. In this case, you describe the
intermediate and end points with three coordinates.
The circular movement is described by:
• The intermediate point at addresses I1=, J1=, K1=
and
• the end point in Cartesian coordinates X, Y, Z.
The identifiers have the following meanings:
I1=: Coordinate of the interm. point in the X direction
J1=: Coordinate of the interm. point in the Y direction
K1=: Coordinate of the interm. point in the Z direction
