Here is a link where you can look at the stepper ini and hal files. You can also go up in the directory tree and look at the other configuration files. A major stumbling block for me was running a windows PC and not knowing where to look to be able to view the files. I recommend bookmarking the link because to this day I have difficulty getting there from linuxcnc.org.

I have read the user, install, and HAL guides and think I get the idea. What I'm wondering is if there is a "How To" doc somewhere that gives a real beginners look at setting up a stepper drive. For instance, assuming one has a stepper with interface that can take step and direction signals (and perhaps micro step), here's how to do a HAL config with the parallel port to make the stepper move.
