help getting loop to loop

I guess you problem is the "magic keyword" void loop().

It is not a magic keyword though, but a function definition, and as such it is

  1. in the wrong place, as inside a function you may call (execute) other functions, but you can't declare new ones.
  2. has a wrong name, as each function name can be declared only once.

What's wrong if you simply say:

else if (dir == SELECT)
  {
      stepper.step(STEPS/10);
      delay(seconds);
  }

... besides the fact that delay () might not be too smart, as it makes your system unresponsive during that time.
