EXACTLY what I've been looking for. I've been using WWW pages for
presentations for years, most recently W3C's "slidemaker". I've looked
enviously at people's slick PDFs, but never found a good way to write them.
Beamer seams to do it easily. Better still; it turns out I've had it right
here for the last 18 mo, as it came in the FDC distro.

Thanks!
