The ini configuration page idea is a good one.  I started on an ini 
configurator a while back using Tcl/Tk but got lost in the details.  I 
believe that there may still be copies of it floating around.

I am really trying to understand why an axis travels when it is supposed 
to be at rest.  Send me your revised ini and let me try it here.
