PMView SlideShow
BeginShow
BeginImage
FileName D:\ss\image1.jif
ShowInfo Yes
Information 'Demo slideshow
EndImage
BeginImage
FileName D:\ss\image2.jif
UseTimer Yes

EndShow
In this example the note "Demo slideshow" will be displayed with the first image (image1.jif). The timer is not used for the first image, the user must manually continue. The second image (image2.jif) uses the timer and will display for 2 seconds. The third image also uses the timer and will display the default time; 5 seconds.
