You use an editor to create your presentation (eg demo.mgp).
Then execute mgp (from an xterm) to display that presentation:
------------
mgp demo.mgp
------------

/usr/share/mgp/demo.mgp is included as an example of how
to set up a presentation. It shows you many common commands
in action. To do your first presentation, you can simply
edit demo.mgp to change the text, etc.

All the commands are described in:
-------------- -------
man MagicPoint or man mgp
-------------- -------

No, everything you need is already in BL3.

I have never used a checkbook balancing program, but I
assume it is similar to a spreadsheet?
