I am guessing that you know which parallel port pins you connected the switches to. I am further guessing that you plan on using shared home/limit switches, one for each axis.
So, from the CNC menu select the Stepconf Wizard
On the second page select "modify an existing configuration"
Click "Forward" and then select the V90.Stepconf file.
Click Forward through Basic Machine Config
You might as well click "include HALUI" in the "Advanced Config Options"
Click forward to "Parallel Port setup" and look at the right-hand (inputs) column.
Select, for example, Pin 10 as "Both Limit + Home X"
Similarly for Y and Z axes, depending on how you wired the pins.
In the X-axis configuration panel you almost certainly want to set the home-switch position to -24, but I don't know for sure. It depends where the switch is.
If the home switch is at -24 then I think that the Home Search Velocity might need to be negative.
Similarly for axes Y and Z.
Then click through to the end, and Apply.
Check the witch operation manually as described earlier.
Then see what happens when you press "Home" (Be ready on the "ESC" button). You will probably need to adjust the homing directions, speeds, and the signs of the velocities. But that all depends on your machine setup.
