haven 't checked through your code, or the device datasheet, but here are 
some thoughts on possible gotchas.

MCLR - using it as an input, or as reset? Is it being pulled high by a 
resistor if using it as a reset?

LVP - do you have the chip set to use Low Voltage Programming? If so, is the 
PGM pin tied an appropriate way while in run mode?

Sufficient bypass caps on the 5V? recommend a 100nF at the PIC, and some 
bulk capacitance nearby (4.7 to 10uF probably).

Is the 5V line stable - if not the chip may be going into Brownout mode. Do 
you have Brownout Mode enabled? If so it would be worth disabling it.

MCLR used as reset, pulled high and bypassed with cap per data sheet.
Low Voltage Programming off ( if my chip programmer is to be trusted ).

I have more cap than that, have messed with it a fair amount as bypassing was
my first idea.  Now stepper load are gone but still not working.  Will play some more
with bypassing.

5V is stable and Brown out off  ( if my chip programmer is to be trusted ).
