SUMMARY
=======
 
You can use a playlist file with the Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer to show
several presentations sequentially. When one presentation ends, the next
one is loaded automatically.
 
You can return to previous slides in your current presentation by using the
PAGE UP, P or RIGHT ARROW key. However, you can back up only to the first
slide in your current presentation. You can't return to the previous
presentation in the list without quitting your current presentation and
starting the playlist again.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
A Playlist file is a text file that contains the names of your
presentations separated by carriage returns, one presentation name per
line. You can create Playlist files in a text editor such as Notepad or
TeachText.
 
NOTE: If you will be using your playlist with Windows, the file extension
should be .LST.
