Can Studio Instruments build more "Program" files?

Would someone please be kind enough to explain how or IF Studio Instruments (for example, "SI-Bass Guitar") builds its "Programs"? I don't see a Program.lst file, like with Rapture or Dimension Pro, so does that mean the .prog files are "Hard coded"? Is there a way for me to build my own or add to the list somehow?
 
In DP for example, if I want to make my own .Prog file I just load some elements, modify them to suit my taste, then click "Save Program" & I have a Program. It saves the LIST of programs in the (DUH) "Program.lst" file, which makes perfect sense. I don't see anything like that for "Studio Instruments". I just see bunch of Prog files already built. I can change the Patterns, but not the Programs. OR is there a way that I don't know about???

    It builds a program.lst just like all the other sfz engine synths. There is no directory tree of program like DimPro or Rapture, probably because the list is so small. One thing about using the SI Instrument program browser, I had to adjust the size of the browser to get it to show the scroll bar. Other than that it works as expected. After creating a new program, try hitting F5 in the program browser to refresh the list. Clicking "Prog" will bring up all the program functions.

    Is there a way to MAKE a new Program? Or only to modify one that's already there & save it AS another name? Maybe it's right in front of me & I'm just not seeing it.

    Studio Instrument do not provide a "New Program" function. There is no convenient way to add samples to instruments so the plug-ins only have "Save" and "Save As" functions for the programs.

    That's too bad because it would be VERY easy to make presets for SI stuff using parts copied from the "Multisamples" folder of DP. I've played bass for 40 years (Guitar & Keys for about 50) & their bass samples don't have a good natural sounding delay. The just go "Bonnnnnnnnggggggg" & keep ringing. Not a BIG deal mind you, but enough that I seldom use the tools. 
    Thank you for the info & taking the time to provide it.
