I have written two identical procedures:

proc main
show_1.pps
endproc

proc main
show_2.pps
endproc

Each runs a continuous PowerPoint Show of a few slides,
and I have scheduled each show to run for 10 minutes every
day. When the second show starts, the first freezes on
the screen. How do I program an "Esc" command at the
beginning of the second show to terminate the first show ?

You can kill PPoint using pskill.exe from www.sysinternals.com.

Thank you for your response yesterday suggesting pskill.

What actually happened is that pskill stopped the
PowerPoint show and froze it on the monitor screen, thus
prevented the second show from starting until manually
pressing the "Esc" key. Any suggestion as to what to try
next? What I need is to clear the screen, or program
automating the "Esc" key. Thanks.

Pskill works fine when applied properly. Thank you very
much for your help. Great.
