i have to admit.. stairs can be tricky.. i dont know why changing some of the parameters dont change the stair, and you have to just start over.. 

I guess i need to add stairs to my list of things to master...like a stair master...isnt there an app for that?

The rise is the height of each step.  The depth (or tread depth) is the length of each step.  The target slope is what will be acceptable - 2 x Rise + Depth is a common rule of thumb for an acceptable slope.
