Tim,
  I have found decent documentation for MH to be very hard to come by.
Hopefully, I can type some good stuff up once I get the hang of everything
:)
For now, some of the best advice I can give you is that the web interface
for MH is very good. Most of the setup and controls can be found under Mr.
House Home (on the interface main page) there you can edit the ini files
in an easy manner and edit the items (X-10 modules) in your MHT file. The
settings and even trigger event setups can be found under the setup
section in Mr. House home....hope this helps some.
