Thanks for pointing me to the seminar style.

One of the cool things I saw with Microsoft Powerpoint is that I need
not display the whole slide completely. I can display two bullets of
one slide first and then press the arrow key and the next bulleted
item or an equation comes up on the same slide. I do not know what the
technical name for this. So I cannot search in google on how to do
this. Is this same as switches that the manual talks about? I have not
tried switches yet, I am still trying out the seminar style and seeing
whether it fits my needs. Any ideas on this feature?

In this case, I am making the presentation from my laptop, so I know
for sure that texmacs is available. But thanks for pointing it out
anyway.

Please! That would be great! You can either post it to the list, so
that it will be there in the archives or you can send it to my email
address  (kamaraju at gmail dot com).
