If your input is <CR>, it runs the command. - You can provide other input and it will do other actions. You can: - Ask for help using “?” • Quit at any point • Dump the list of commands in the demo. It produces a red line above your current point in the demo • Run another command or Suspend the demo and enter into a nested prompt to explore a topic • Go to a specified command in the demo • Find all the commands in the demo using a regular expression • Check your time. It displays how many minutes and seconds since the start of the demo. This information is also displayed in the Window title on an ongoing basis. #> <# .DESCRIPTION This script completely transforms the experience of giving a demo, allowing you to focus on your messages instead of typing. It is REAL in the sense that the commands REALLY run, the script just eliminates your typing.
