is there a way to customize a walk without using the tweak sliders? I'm using poser 5 and trying to figure out how to create a zombie-like walk with the arms outstretched forward.

Load up a suitable walk as normal ignoring how the arms look. Just get the legs working the way you want. Now open up the animation window and delete all the key frames for the arms and hands. Next go to frame one and pose the arms. You'll now find that the arms will stay put but the legs will still walk. If I'm lucky I'll be able to attack the file to this post. Right click on the link and save. Then in Windows Explorer remove the TXT extension.

ahh I see the file name gets changed. So right click on the link. File/save as Zombie.pz2 should work. Then place it in your LibraryPoseWalk Designer folder.

tried that file - didn't work.... shows up in the walk designer but doesn't give results - looks like default walk.

but your suggestions as to how to accomplish it did - thanks!! For some reason when I tried the same thing earlier it didn't work. I extend the index and pinky of my right hand to you, sir
