simple stepper speed control

I understand that and feel confident I will see succeess by noon tomorrow at the lastest. At this point in my arduino career I feel safe in that regard. I am just still surprised I didn't find it spelt out for me somewhere online, you know? I would expect it to be like servos and making tones etc, that the whole arduino thing is plenty mature enough that this should simply already exist and I am being a dunce re-inventing the wheel. I expected the first reply to be "there are thirty tutorials right here (link)".]

edit, I am not posting that asking you to hold my hand thru this or whatnot, just expressing surprise. Sadly I know I am no wehre good enough to write something up myself that anyone who speaks english could follow.
