Progress Line

Description

A primitive Basic script to add and remove a progress bar/line to Impress slide sheets.

It uses a separate TOC from specific `.index` file to give authors full control on what should shown and ability to shorten long titles. Other shape/color/font/format/margin are declared at the top of the script, any user with basic knowledge of Basic can tweak it.
