What exactly did you type? and did you see that when you clicked on it nothing was connected to that pin?
If it says something like parport.0.pin-02-out <= xstep then you can't do a setp on that one unless you unlink it from xstep.

There is no pin 23... on the list to the left in Show Hal Configuration you see Pins... drill down to the parallel port and see what pins you have. Hint try 16 or 17...

Ok I tried 16, 17, 18 , 19, 7, 8, 9 etc... they alll say invalid argument!
I type in the area that says test hal command setp parport.0.pin-number here-out
Well it accepts unlink commands but not setp even using same pin??

setp parport.1.pin-17-out invalid argument!
unlinkp parport.0.pin-17-out works
followed by
setp parport.0.pin-17-out invalid argument
unlinkp parport.0.pin-17-out works
followed by
setp parport.0.pin-17-out invalid argument
