The driver appears to me, when I look at the setup, to agree with me with regard to which function is on which motor. And, yes, last night motor 1, the focuser, read 7679, (or something close to that), while I had set motor 2, the rotator, down to zero.
The Auto Focus routine seems to have no troubles moving motor 1, and changing focus; that's worked more-or-less properly for quite some time, now. And, it worked properly last night; it went through an auto-focus routine. (Though I did not get a nice, pretty V-Curve.)
(I have big marks on my cables, so that I get them connected to the right places, and I always double check that, by verifying that the hand controller moves the expected component.)
Are you suggesting that I should set it up the other way 'round, both physically and in the software? (I don't recall having seen anything that said hook one or the other to a particular port, so I had set it up arbitrarily, with the focuser on port 1. I'm willing to have been wrong.) From my point of view, it seems that SGP is doing something odd... but I recognize that others are not having this difficulty, so, having put the motors on the wrong ports makes a kind of sense, albeit horridly embarrassing.
It may be clear again tonight, so I'll play with this some today and try again tonight.
Again, thanks for looking.

See? This is the risk with posting about problems on a public forum... you can get your problems solved, perhaps, but at the considerable risk of being exposed as a fool... I do try hard not to make absolute statements, since those tend to be bitter and tough to chew, later, if I have to eat them.
