Hi ... Thanks ... As you say, it does the trick. I'm not yet sure I understand why! But I'll brood on it ... it's nearly midnight in my part of the world and I have an 8am class to give tomorrow!

Cheers

This does this trick...I remember having to do this with prosper as well.

\begin{slide}{First}
  \rput(1,-1){\rnode{Re}{\psovalbox{Real system}}}
  \rput(6,-4){\rnode{Lu}{\psframebox{Lumped Model}}}
  \onslide*{2-}{\ncline{-}{Re}{Lu}}
\end{slide}

Notice, I used \onslide*{}{}

So what happens if we use \onslide+...normally, the "text" is present but inactive. In this usage, the line appears on all slides, which is reasonable (I think).

As to why we must use \onslide* rather than \onslide....I don't know that answer. Perhaps someone else does.

    Hi ... In the following example, two overlays are created, but the
    line
    (which I hoped would only appear on the 2nd overlay) appears on both.

    Am I confusing something?  (By the way, the same thing happens with
    \onslide)
