with that and other hints in the blog it now works

for those who follow:

 directions.load("from: "StartAddress" to: "EndAddress" ,
{getSteps:true});

GEvent.addListener(directions, "load" , function() {                 //
code to do assignment goes inside this block

         document.getElementById
('distance').innerHTML=directions.getDistance().html
         var dur=directions.getDuration().seconds;  //or .html
         map.openInfoWindow(map.getCenter(),
                       document.createTextNode("Hello from " +
map.getCenter() + " dur=" + dur + " sec" ));
   }  //end block
 );  //end GEventListener
