Make a temporary file with the content of your presentation. +2. Create some application to update the temporary file content. +2. Either press reload or use SIGHUP to reload the file and slide. + +Using this solution you lose some commands in catpoint(1) but will be +able to scale to infinity. + +Another solution would be to use some different kernel or userspace, +allowing more arguments to a command. + +Have fun! +
