    Scott, et al.

    Thanks for your response.  This is what I was working towards when I
    got your message:


	    ;;; Display routines for PPs
	    ;;;
	    (defclass kat-display-view (clim:dialog-view) ())
	
	    (defvar +kat-display-view+ (make-instance 'kat-display-view))

	    ;;; present in my view
	    (clim:define-presentation-method clim:present
		(self (type progress-profile) stream (view kat-display-view) &key)
		      (clim:with-output-as-presentation
		       (:object self :stream stream :single-box t)
			    (kat-display self stream))
	      )

    "progress-profile" is a class from the other application
    "kat" is my system

    I.e., at least I was on the right track (even down to the plus signs
    :).  One thing I'm not sure I understand about your example -- is there
    any reason I need to define a new pres-type?  It doesn't seem
    necessary.  I should be able to define new clim:present methods with a
    different view without otherwise interfering with the old presentation
    type.

You don't need to define a new presentation type.  I guess my example
was confusing in that regard; sorry about that.
