It wasn't those two.. I remember Harvard Graphics. ?It had a friendlier name than
that.. Direct something? ?Darn. ?Gotta find it now.

You know.. come to think of it.. it might have been
something like this
software I used to play with obsessively as a kid. ?My Dad had it for
our PC. ?I completely forgrt the name. ?It was a CGA graphics
proto-Powerpoint kind of deal. ?You could draw pictures, graphs etc..
and it also had clip art. ?You could do fade ins and outs and other effects.
?I think we had it later on.. 85 or after. ?But the colors and way it
drew graphics was similar. ?And I think you could hotkey it to go to
specific 'slides'. ?The mall computer just had a series of buttons
alongside the screen from what I remember. ?Could have been rigged up to
replicate certain keys. ? Wish I could remember the program name..
There was GRASP / GRASPRT? You could author all sorts of stuff in it.
There was presentation software called Harvard Graphics I think.
