Bob,
There is a pretty fair section on xgen in the XGRASS user's manual. This comes 
with the standard GRASS4.1 release (I *think* !!).

As far as XGRASS and xgen go in general, I think that very few serious users are
working with it. We use it for introductory training, where it has obvious 
strengths. A few days ago someone at CERL stated in a post that no one there
is currently actively supporting XGRASS. So, draw your own conclusions...
