To create a script that preloads slides
In this example of a script that displays three slides (files slide1.sld, slide2.sld,
and slide3.sld), the time it takes to access the disk drive and load the next slide
into memory overlaps with the viewing time for the current slide.
1 On the first line of the script, enter vslide slide1.
The first line begins the slide show and loads slide1.
2 On the second line, enter vslide *slide2.
The asterisk (*) preceding the slide name on the second line preloads
slide2.
3 On the third line, enter delay 2000.
The third line specifies a delay of 2000 milliseconds to allow the audience
to view slide1.
4 On the fourth line, enter vslide. On the fifth line, enter vslide *slide3.
On the sixth line, enter delay 2000.
The fourth, fifth, and sixth lines display slide2, preload slide3, and specify
a delay for viewing slide2.
5 On the seventh line, enter vslide. On the eighth line, enter delay 3000.
The seventh and eighth lines display slide3 and specify a delay for viewing
slide3.
6 On the last line, enter rscript to repeat the script.
7 To stop a repeating script press ESC. To continue the script, enter resume.
