Sure, if they are there and not connected to something already... It helps to look in Show Hal Configuration in Axis to see if the pin is there and if it is connected to something.

ok, from what ya'll taught me, this should work 
i have HALUI = halui, PYVCP = MyVCP.xml
and HALFILE = MyVCP.xml in my ini file. i get the error msg "pyvcp.on-led" doesn't exist.
what am i missing ? i moved PYVCP and HALUI around in the ini file thinking one needs to
be first. PYVCP is in [DISPLAY] section and HALUI in in[HAL] section. and i have
HALFILE = postgui_custom.hal. .but since it is giving me "doesn't exist" i must have all
this right.
postgui_custom.hal - =
net on-mach pyvcp.on-led halui.machine.is-on
MyVCP.xml =
<led>
<halpin>"on-led"</halpin>
<size>22</size>
<on_color>"green"</on_color>
<off_color>"gray"</off_color>
</led>
i have HALUI = halui, PYVCP = MyVCP.xmland HALFILE = MyVCP.xml in my ini file. i get the error msg "pyvcp.on-led" doesn't exist.

The xml file is not a hal file it is a pyvcp file and only goes with PYVCP= in the display section.
Take a gander at the sections again in the manual it shows what goes where...

oops, misspoke...
axis.ini =
[DISPLAY]
PYVCP = MyVCP.xml
[HAL]
postgui_custom.hal <
does the file name need to be postgui_ and underscored ?
HALUI = halui
p.s. forgot to state that all the buttons/leds show in axis.

As far as I know it can be anything you desire:
HALFILE = bob.hal
or whatever you like... but if you want to be loaded after the GUI then you have to use a different tag like so
POSTGUI_HALFILE = bob.hal
Short read on that section is here:

cool... i meant having the "word" POSTGUI_ in the name.
like postgui_whatever.hal
meaning i need the first part(postgui_) in the name.
