Bridgeport DX-32 post

Hello I am working on getting the generic bridgeport post to work properly with a Bridgeport DX-32 control. So far i have changed the () around comments to ' and i have started the program with a little left arrow to make the DX-32 happy.  Facing, helix, and 2d adaptive clearing have worked flawlessly on the machine (a Bridgeport Discovery Torq-Cut 22).  The problems i am having are with drilling and tapping.  The post will work when a simple drill or tap is commanded but it cannot handle chip breaking on either one.  The post comes up with a failed screen and says a P value is not set.  I have no idea what this is.  Another problem with drilling is the z input coordinate is not negative like it should be, it is positive. Therefore the machine moves to the points where it should drill but doesnt go down.  I have been able to edit the comment and beginning symbol of the post but i am not sure how to fix these other problems.  Any help would be appreciated. Attached is my edited post.

Thanks,
Sam

The z value for drill cycle is correct, it is supposed to be the depth of the hole, my appologies.  I still cannot figure out what the p-value is if it is something that needs set in the menus.  I have messed with every number with no results.  I am pretty new to cnc in general I am an engineering student trying to get everything figured out on my schools mill.
