Yes, you have the correct document. Well the commands are simple 
ASCII strings beginning with a * end ends with #. e.g. the Go command 
(page 30) is described as:

General form
* 56 ee cccc [ss] #

ee Engine number (1-8)
cccc Cue List number (1-500)
ss Cue Step number (1-100)

For example
* 56 01 01 2C 04 #
Start Cue List 300 in engine A (01) at Cue Step 4

So you only need to learn writing numbers in hex, as e.g. the 300 = 
256 (0100 hex) + 44 (002C) makes 012C for cuelist 300. NB spaces can 
be left, it's just for readability.

If you want to learn what commands to use, put LCedit+ in Debug mode 
(Tools menu), and open a StreamWatcher window (Windows menu). Turn 
Off AutoUpdate and do a Go 300.4a in LCedit+, you will notice this:

{*565B012C04#}?

You see near the same command as on page 30, but engine (layer) 
number is different; 5B instead of 01. The reason is that LCedit uses 
another numbering for layers, but you can clearly see what LCedit is 
sending, and the response of the box (? in this case, as there is no 
cue 300.4)

Have fun,
