Thank you Taco for this, the line is now in my cont-sys.tex file which I
assume
is the place to put it.

foiltex simply provides a very basic means of giving out notes of the slides
where the format of the text and pictures is similar but not identical to
the slides. Typically slides with 4 bullets would occupy 1/5 of the page
length whereas complicated slides would occupy 1/2 page. The text size is
smaller (10,11,12pt) with headings appropriately scaled. It is easy to use
multicolumns to fit about 6 slides worth of content onto one page.

There are two possible ways of dealing with this in context (I think):-
1. use the \setuparranging type of command to put images of the slides on
paper, in this case one wants the central image only of the pre-original
format. The result would be similar (but better than!) PowerPoint Print
Handouts(6 slides per page) command.
2. Convert the special presentation commands, \Topic into a \section
command, \Subject into a \subsection command, \Topics into a \placecontent
command and \TitlePage to \????. And use a normal document format of some
kind. It would be nice to be able to do this by some simple replacement of
the \usemodule command. Specific presentation commands like
\presentationstep, \autopresentationsteptrue etc would need to be nulled.

I assume this might be done with a \usemodule[pre-handout] type of command
in place of any one of the \usemodule[pre-original] commands.

I would prefer the version 2 above but others might like version 1.

Did I read of an intention to be able to insert speakers notes into these
presentation formats?
