3d spiral extrusion problem

I'm trying to draw a spiral object in 3d that fits the example of a circular stairwell. I loaded 3DSPIRAL.LSP to create the spiral and tried extruding a rectangle along it.
Two problems: AutoCAD 2000 insists on tipping the profile to be perpendicular to the extrusion path, and it rotates the profile about the path as it extrudes (so that by the second revolution, the "doorway" is now sideways- tricky staris!)

Any ideas on such a problem?
