  And the highlight is not working. The colors of the items First, Second and 
  Third remains Blue

It is working as specified.
If you want to change the material written in color red to be dimmed or 
highlighted to magenta, you need to write that in color red in your 
original text.~
Thus you better replace red by blue in \pausecolors or blue by red 
in \color.

Enjoy,
Klaus

P.S. I am sorry for the long delay, but I was away from office for a while.

Re: [PPower4] including jpgs or gifs into ppower4 presentations

  The scenario is the following:
  - using xfig, I mix xfig objects (such as lines and boxes) and imported
objects (such as gifs or jpgs);
  - I then use fig2dev -L mmp input.fig ouput.mp
  - finally I use metapost: mpost output.mp
  mpost (Version 0.641 (Web2C 7.3.1)) complains that Picture objects are
  not supported!

This is indeed a limitation of the mpost output. Unfortunately I am
not aware of a workaround for this.
Why do you need to modify/enhance the gifs and/or jpegs with xfig?
Can't you produce them completely in the first step?

  PS: while checking previous posts I came accross the hint to use
  \pageDuration{}
  (\newcommand{\pageDuration}[1]{\hypersetup{pdfpageduration={#1}}})
  Using an argument of 0.02 (ie \pageDuration{0.02}), 1 or 2 doesn't seem
  to do anything. What is a good argument to use?

This does not have any relation to the question above, does it?
What are you trying to achieve? 
Which environment do you use?

  I found another feature of the xfig-fig2dev-mpost chain:
  only layers that have at least 1 empty layer in-between get separated
  out. For instance, if you have graphics on layers 5, 6 and 8, you will
  get two frames, one that includes the graphics from layers 5 and 6 and a
  second frame that includes graphics from layer 8.

This is described in section 12 of the preliminary PPower4 manual,
where it says:
frames will be built from contiguous depth values.

   What are you trying to achieve?
  
  I vaguely thought of generating a fig that includes a stack of sheets of
  paper and would build up the stack automatically by adding one sheet at
  a time with an interval of a - say - 0.1 seconds. Purely for the visual
  effect that this would have in a presentation.

You may need to select an advance time in Full Screen Preferences in
your acroread. This holds at least for some Linux versions.
Select a large value for Advance Every ... Seconds to make sure it
will not advance automagically. Duration times seem to be not honored
otherwise.

  btw: where can I send bug reports for ppower4?

Send them to me by separate mail, not necessarily on the list.
