I find the "can't assess its relevance" comment rather ironic.
I know Jim probably didn't mean it that way, but Hypercard was always
one of those products that was difficult to define. Trouble assessing
the relevance was probably the biggest barrier to its uptake. I see
Runtime is still strugging with that. A lot more CPU/platforms, and a
better presentation and sales strategy than two years ago when they
bought rights to Metacard, but it's still hard to assess it from a
management point of view.
Wish I could add some input beyond what Jim has already found with
using Javascript.

This is not, strictly speaking, a Perl question, but ...
In order to do a conference presentation on an aspect of Perl next
month, a colleague and I have chosen to use an HTML-based slide show
which we'll present from an iBook or PowerBook. We both customarily
use Safari as our default browser.
I've done other presentations with Apple Keynote and have used a
wireless presentation remote (Kensington model 33062) to go forward
and backward inside Keynote. I'd like to do the same with this
HTML-slide show using Safari.
My colleague knows enough Javascript to have successfully bound the
'n' and 'p' keys to the forward and backward motion of the Safari
browser ... but I'd like to be able to the same thing remotely, i.e.,
not have to touch the keyboard to go to the next slide.
Does anyone know how to bind the keys on this remote to actions in
Safari?

Thanks in advance.
