I have search ed 10 pages of google, and cannot find any tutorials that will help me create a walk cycle from SCRATCH. I do not want to use the magic" do it for me"  Walk Designer.

The problem I am having is when I reverse the symmetry on the figure, to make the second step, he twists in ways that would scare even Linda Blaire.

When Linda Blair enters the Poser scene, she's telling you one thing:

Switch interpolation from Spline to Linear.

Then add more keyframes between the two chief positions.

After you've filled in the range with more-or-less evenly spaced
keyframes, you can switch back to Spline to smooth it out.

Where would I find that. On the animation menu I see Loop interpolation and quarternion interpolation. Both can be on or off, each can be switched on and oof independantly of one another.

click the KEY symbol to open the keyframe editor, where you can find the different interpolation types. The four grouped together on the right, spline, linear, constant and break

Dont search on poser , just try keyframed walk cycle. 

For any rotations you may need a few extra keyframes to make sure its turning in the wanted direction.

Larry Mitchell has a few videos on how to make a walk cycle from scratch at: Sharecg.com. He even wrote a book about animation: "Character animation in Poser"

96 five star reviews for an incredibly amazing animation text that gives 60-something pages for walk cycles alone. Once you master this, any other type of motion is easy to get great result. NOT specific to computer art, but highly recommended.
