Is there a way to launch and PowerPoint presentation on the Mac in Show mode? On the PC side there is a command line switch /s . Is another way to accomplish this on the Mac besides making the file a *.pps or *.ppsx

Hi,

As with windows, when a presentation has been saved as .pps or .ppsx,
when the file is double-clicked the presentation begins to play
automatically. Also the same as windows, you can open PowerPoint first,
and then use File > Open and open the presentation in Normal view for
editing.

I've never attempted to launch an application from the command line, so
I don't know if there's a switch to use for that scenario.
