This can be accomplished by setting two options, one to force NDSolve to use
RungeKutta, one to set the step size.
For example
NDSolve[{x''[t] == -Sin[t], x[0] == 1, x'[0] == 2}, x, {t, 0, 1},
Method -> RungeKutta, MaxStepSize -> 0.1]
For more on NDSolve, take a look at the examples in the documentation and
the implementation notes in appendix 9 of the Mathematica book. If you don't
have it handy, the Mathematica book is available in the Help Browser and
on-line (minus the examples) at http://documents.wolfram.com/
