Hi Bernard, 

I don't know if this will satisfy all of your requirements but you can code 
up something with the kind of functionality you mention using DHTML and 
Javascript. This isn't really the forum to get into details but pulling 
images off a server in response to user events (like clicking an image) 
is basic stuff and people have been doing it for years. If you want to give 
me a shout off-list I can give you a bit more guidance on this. 

There is also an open source project that attempts to replicate much of the 
functionality in powerpoint using only standards compliant DHTML. This could 
be embedded in an IFRAME and would allow you greater flexibility in how 
you present the content, you wouldn't be restricted to making each slide 
an image. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of the project, anyone 
else on the list recall?
