Terragen Module Step Frames - how to implement?

Hi All
Got Terragen running for the most part absolutely blasting away. However, run into a problem when it comes to step frames.
The command line is:
“C:\Program Files\Planetside Software\Terragen 3\tgdcli.exe” -p [PATH_TO_.TGD_FILE] -hide -exit -r -f [FRAME_RANGE]
where [FRAME_RANGE] is in the format 1-500/5 (the "/5" indicating the step. This works at command line just fine, but adding the "step" parameter through Smedge adds "-step 5" which does not work.
(Also tried using 1-500/5 in the Smedge Job GUI frame range but it ignores the "/" and everything after.)
In my module I have tried all sorts of things such as changing the [$(Extra)] parameter position in the module but I cannot stop it including the -step.
At the moment we're having to manually enter the frames (e.g.: 1,11,21,31,41,... for a step 10 sequence). But that is tedious and error prone for long ranges or odd steps that we sometimes use.
Any guidance on how to get it to play ball would be much appreciated.
Head scratchin'

PS: Smedge 2015.2

Hi Mark
Try modifying the command line to assemble the range from two variables with an optional syntax. The first variable should be the range, and can be $(SequenceBy). If you do not already have SequenceBy, add it as a string to your module. The syntax would be:
-f $(Range)[/$(SequenceBy)]
If the SequenceBy parameter is left blank, the / and the value will be left out of the command line that gets generated.
Let me know if that helps. Thanks,
-robin
