Perhaps the problem's at my end.  I do not seem to be able to do this
(although I have a super key defined, AFAICT).  Further, when I
explicitly add a menubar with "Describe presentation" on it:

(make-command-table 'debug-command-table
		    :errorp nil
		    :menu '(("Describe presentation"
			     :command
			     com-describe-presentation)
			    ("Describe object"
			     :command
			     com-describe-object)))

(make-command-table 'menubar-command-table
		    :errorp nil
		    :menu '(("Describe" :menu debug-command-table)))

The "Describe presentation" menu item appears grayed out and seems
inactive.  I'm using a copy I pulled from CVS yesterday (and rebuilt
from source).

Can anyone correct me on this?
