Neutral terminal on X-10 type wall switch

["Marilyn & Bob" <Privacy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What is the purpose of the neutral terminal on the X-10 wall switch for
fluorescent bulbs.  My question is: is this a real neutral connection or
simply a mechanism to allow for a trickle current that would be provided by
an incandescent bulb.  The reason I ask is that I have one switch box that
is grounded but does not have a neutral wire.  It currently has a standard
X-10 switch in it which controls a track light which has 3 CF bulbs and two
incandescents.  I would like to replace the incandescents with CF bulbs and
would thus have to use a X-10 type switch which requires a neutral.  So I
want to know if  I can safely use the ground instead of the neutral.
