These are not "steps", they are the usual trapezoidal ramp-up, coast, 
ramp-down of a manual jog.
A program that did :
G01 X1 F25
X0
(repeat)
would accomplish the same thing, of course.  I usually just do it manually.

Actually, this suits me better than a real step.  You get 4 distinct 
regions (stationary, accelerating, running at constant velocity, and 
decelerating).
Each has little differences in behavior (like the accel and decel have 
friction and mass working in opposite directions on them) and you want 
all 4 regions to have minimal following error.
