	 I see... well, actually I don't. My confusion is that I have modified the
	 presentation type of the "old output". So my thinking is that when I call
	 REPLAY-OUTPUT-RECORD to replay the "old output", it should now be 
	 different than it was the last time.

	  Perhaps my error is that the presentation isn't the "old output" at all?
	  If not, then what exactly is the "old output"?

       A presentation object has three important attributes: the application
       object, the presentation type, and some output records.  The leaf
       output records constitute the visual display of the presentation.

       So the "old output" is represented by the output records contained in
       the presentaiton, _not_ by the object or the p-type.

   Gotcha.

	 I will be so happy when (if) I get to the point where I fully understand 
	 all of this! :-)

       I wish there was a higher bandwidth way to do this.

   Am I hearing a plug for the CLIM II tutorial?

If you are there, it might be a good idea.  John Aspinall and I
discussed making output recording and gadgets be the main focus of at
least 1/2 the time of the CLIM II tutorial.  (I don't mean to
shamelessly plug a course I will be helping to teach myself, but if
anyone out there is thinking of attending, this information might be
useful to you.)
