Stepconf is intended to make it easy to set up simple machines, or to provide a starting point for more complex machines. When you get to the need for multiple parallel ports or other hardware interfaces, the number of options grows so large that stepconf would no longer be easy to use if it were to support all that.
You can learn about how HAL is configured "behind the scenes" by looking at the HAL sections of EMC2 manual, and looking at the .hal file that stepconf generated. It's pretty easy to get going, the hardest part is remembering that you're free to do just about anything :) - Steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
