There is a simple switch example in the file attached to this email. You
can move across the pages of the switch (which contains 7 pages, with
A, B, ... G) by first *putting the cursor inside it* (that is something one
often forgets in the beginning :-) , and then :

Meta-alt-left & meta-alt-right to go to the previous/next page ;
Meta-alt-up & meta-alt-down to go to the first/last page ;

There are also commands to add a page after/before the current page
in the switch, and to remove the current page. These commands are
available in the menu Insert/Switch.

Don't forget that once you finished your presentation file which uses a 
switch,
you can turn TeXmacs into presentation mode using View/Presentation mode.

It is also nice to know that you can use the whole TeXmacs window for 
the pages
of your document using Document/Page/Type/Automatic (this way you dont 
plague
your presentation with the gray border on the right of the TeXmacs window).

There is probably a feature for this, but I'm not sure ; it would be better
to ask Joris to be sure.
