"mgp" stands for MagicPoint.  MagicPoint is intended for a substitute
of MS PowerPoint.  It runs on X-Windows and capable to run X client
program on the slide, integrated with the TeX system, and available
free.  I don't know how widely accepted this software is but there are
some enthusiastic users in Japan where the software is born and
maintained.  Further information is given in http://www.Mew.org/mgp/.

Though I personally have never used magicpoint, I think it is
interesting to develop a lablgtk tutorial that is integrated with the
lablgtk interpreter: you can see the document, program, and also
interact with the lablgtk application.
