Abstract
Abstract A system for pre-recording, editing, and playing back a presentation on computer systems creates "tapes" of screen session files, marks and edits them, records and synchronizes sound on them, annotates them with buttons or other overlay graphics, presents them interactively through pointing and clicking, and plays them back through various modes. No special animation or scripting skills are required.
