You planning on just drilling some holes and cutting some basic shapes? 

Believe it or not they make me do mold cavities and complex multi-axis parts. We get the hand-me-down computers from accounting.

You'll just need a proper Post setup, and to make sure your Geometry in Mastercam is drawn on the proper side.

If you are looking down from the ceiling, is the turret "above or below" the spindle centerline. In other words, when the turret is "home", is it at the back of the machine, as far from the operator as possible, or is it "close to the front" of the machine, near the operator?

The X-Axis is simple to reverse inside the Post. Set 'dia_mult' to -2. (default is 2), if your machine is in Diameter mode. If the machine is in Radius mode, set it to -1 instead of 1.

I'm guessing with no Turret, there is probably no "Work Offset" either? Do you use "G54" for a Work Offset, or is the "zero" just set at the machine, and you want XZ output?

The Posts typically have a switch variable called "home_type", which tells the Post "what kind of Work Offset output are we doing, and how does the tool approach/retract from/to the Tool Change Position. There is an option which would let you use "Home Position" to output an X and Z safe approach/retract position as the start point and last point of your Toolpath.

the guy below you figured it out..........................

Nope.
