The .mdp settings (certainly within the nonbonded section) are force 
field-specific.  If you're using a different force field, you have to look up 
the appropriate values.

If you simply want to increase the number of steps, then change nsteps.

There is no recipe.  You should have a scientific question in mind based on 
physical and biological phenomena that will drive the types of analysis.
