okay, now we are getting somewhere - because now i *know* i'm not
communicating clearly. i'll try again. :)

let's not worry about any of the directives right now.

what i'd like is to embed a lot of small mgp presentations into a big
presentation. think about it like a book and chapters in the book.

each chapter would be a small presentation that can be used in different
books. each book would contain multiple smaller presentations.

i'll try for another example (remember - don't worry about the directive,
i'm asking for a totally new feature).

assume i have a lot of small presentations a.mgp, b.mgp, c.mgp, and d.mgp.

now, i have to give a talk on a topic that covers only a and b. so,
instead of cutting the text from a.mgp and b.mgp to create 1.mgp, i'd like
to just give a directive in 1.mgp to "pull in" or "include" both a.mgp and
b.mpg.

is this clearer? if not, i'll try again. i'd really like to get this
feature (and i think a few others would too!).



thanks,
