In case anyone is interested:

Starting from position X=0.001"  my Tek MSO3034 scope shows the move back to 
zero and then to 0.001.  The direction line set in the + direction rises to the 
- direction and moves to 0.000.  Then immediately changes to the + direction 
and another 15 step pulses to move back to 0.001.  And then the direction line 
toggles 3 times.

And although DIRSETUP in the ini file is set to 1000 nS the actual time from 
rising dir pin to first step pulse in this example was 2.89mS.  The change in 
direction to first step to go back to 0.001" was 3.23mS.
