I'm getting powerpoint envy ... Well not really. I am, though, looking for some of its functionality, i.e to project overheads. I'm imagining myself at front of lecture with speech-enabled laptop and overhead projector panel connected to video output. I have a file menu (probably using something like the dired-mode of emacspeak) which the members of the audience can't see. "visiting" a file feeds it to ghostscript or acroread or something to display it on the panel. I foresee all kinds of problems with this, e.g. the emacspeak session (or however we do this) has to be invisible, but it sounds like a task for some interestingly devious hacking. Anyone done anything like this? Have any ideas? cheers Peter Rayner
