pretty sure about the 128 steps, I'll double check after work tomorrow. Sorry for multipost. How do I delete the other post. I realized after posting that this is a script related question. I looked for a way to delete. Thanks. Can fractions be used as variables in scripts such as .5 or .3?
Don't worry about the multiple posts - my note was more an FYI that the people who might be able to help usually read all new posts (for every thread).
Meanwhile, both the CHDK scripting languages use integer variables only. Some general ways to work with that limitation are posted here :

I'm afraid the zoom_step code works in fixed integer increments, which is okay for most CHDK cameras that only have zoom steps between 6 and 15 or so steps. Apparently the SX20 megazoom has a continious mode. To get finer control, I suspect you would have to rewrite the core CHDK code. Not too hard if you can program and have the time to setup a development environment. Otherwise, unless someone else has a better idea, you are probably out of luck.
And BTW - some of us would line to have "only" 120 zoom steps.
