Gecko servo drive to basic stamp

I'm planning to run an automated process with 3 or 4 dc servo motors.·
I've got·my homework board·wired up right now to a Gecko drive G320 brush type servo drive.· The Gecko runs like a stepper motor drive on step and direction pulses.
The servo motor has an HP encoder on it for the Gecko drive to monitor the motor position.
My problem is this:· I can't seem to get more than about 20 rpms out of the servo.· I can certainly slow it down, but can't make it go any faster.
I've been using the PULSOUT command and a duration of 1.· I've got the postion part figured out, ie I can make it turn any number of rotations I want then stop.
Can someone advise me of a simple program to get me started?·I'd like to be able to enter a simple R or L·for direction control and a number of rotations in the·debug terminal.
Thanks in advance.
