I do not believe there is any programming involved, other than selecting the House & Unit Codes on the XPT Base. For example, if you haven't moved any of the dials, it probably shows A & 1. This means that the switches on the XP4D will be addressed this way (from top to bottom):

A 1
A 2
A 3

In AHP, you can trigger your macros based on those addresses.

Thru a link provided by Charles Sullivan (Re: WS4777 with electronic fluorescent (http://www.x10community.com/forums/index.php?topic=10470.msg60096#msg60096)) an XPT manual is available here xpt.pdf (http://www.x10pro.com/pro/pdf/xpt.pdf). (Not much of one however.)
