The class ``prosper'' is for computer-displayed or projected presentations, while
traditional LaTeX classes article and report are still best for printed material.
Here is LaTeX source from the file sample.tex. It would be compiled with the command latex sample.tex and then converted to PDF with dvipdf sample.dvi. The PDF file is displayed using Acrobat Reader, and full-screen mode should be used; choose "Full Screen" from the View menu, or just type Ctrl-L. |

``pascal'' is one of several possible Prosper styles. Not naming a style explicitly is equivalent to choose the style ``default''.
``pdf'' -- compile to produce a PDF file for video projection (rather than PostScript for printing)
``colorGB,slideColor'' -- use many colors, depending on style (rather than white background / restricted colors, for B/W printing)
The slide title -- the parameter following \begin{slide} (e.g., {First Slide Caption} on line 13) will be displayed on the ``display bar'' of that slide; each style formats the title bar in its own way.
The slide environment can ``wrapped'' in an \overlay macro if it will have multiple forms using overlays. Portions of the slide can appear or disappear in different overlays by making use of the macros \fromSlide{n}{...}, \untilSlide{n}{...}, \onlySlide{n}{...}. (See template2.html)
