The prosper package does not provide an \xitem macro.  Are you
referring to HA-prosper?  Please be more exact when asking questions.
It saves people answering you time.

In HA-prosper it seems you still can use \item, though the
documentation is not clear about if this is advisable.  Anyway, here
is what you could use in a style file for HA-prosper:

(defun LaTeX-haprosper-xitem ()
  (insert "\\xitem "))

(add-to-list 'LaTeX-item-list
             '("itemize" . LaTeX-haprosper-xitem))
