I would be interested in learning from you how to use an eps file as the background. Would you be willing to post the lines of code that do this for us lesser mortals?

See page 33 of the powerdot docs.

\rput[tl](0,0){\includegraphics[width=\slidewidth,height= \slideheight]{myBackground.eps}}

See pstricks docs for \rput and graphicx for \includegraphics.

Make sure that your background has the proper ratio width vs height
(4:3 for paper=screen), otherwise this command will stretch your
graphic.

-Hendri.


I believie it should be \rput[bl] instead of \rput[tl] --- the way it's written, the file would be placed just outside (below) the slide - and you wouldn't see it. (0,0) is at the bottom left and you want that to coincide with the bottom left of the picture that's what the bl stands for. Probably just a typo on Hendri's message, but one that would cause confusion for one not familiar with pstricks.
