Hi, I'm trying some animation stuff with Poser 6, and I keep having a certain problem...

I'm not sure what exactly to call it, so I'll just describe it. Let's just say I set V3's arm to move up between frames 20 and 30. The problem I'm having is this: around frame 10 or so, Poser "automatically" makes V3's arm move DOWN before it moves up. Often, this "counter-moving" is awful and ruins the animation attempt, so I go in and fix it frame by frame with the "restore character" function. I figure this is some part of the program that tries to make movements smooth, right? Well....I hate it. It wastes time. How do I shut it off, does anyone know? Does it have to do with the "interpolation" type of the movement?

 I'm sure this is a really basic question, but I can't find the answer on my own.

Thanks.

Suggest you read up on interpretation in the reference manual.

Yes, the overshoot is caused by interpolation.  Poser defaults to spline interpolation.  You might want to try linear interpolation instead, until you get a better feel for it.
