Yea!  

I need you to check something out on your system.  On mine, steppermod
trashes some of the settings in the ini file when you shut it down.
Freqmod works okay.

Set up the ini the way you want it but use steppermod.  (comment out
period) With tkemc or xemc running see if you get the correct values for P,
I, D when you pop up the calibration window under settings. (default p is
1000.0)

I'll add your post to the install stuff.  Thanks.
