Thanks.

I'd thought of something along those lines, but that seems even worse for
my particular application.  I was going to need to vary the step to find
the optimal one.  (The actual application is to generate points to graph
the x-component of electrical field generated by two particles.)  So My 
first cut might be varying by .5, another by .1, etc.  To have to vary by 
1 and change the start and end points and an inner divisor to compensate 
seems very kludgy to me.
