Page Layout ⇒ Latex BEAMER agenda slide, \AtBeginsection, handout option

[mschulme]

Folks,
I encountered the follwing problem when including the agenda slide in a Latex Beamer presentation AND aiming for also having separation slides automatically generated by beamer in front of each new section.

In order to generate these separation slides I used the \AtBeginSection macro and used a code provided in a German book ("Präsentation mit LaTeX" by Herbert Voss, p. 102/103).

The code is below and works perfectly fine.

Now the problem: I want to print out the presentation but do not want to have dozens of unnecessary separation slides. Therefore, in "documentclass" in the beginning I added the option "handout": \documentclass[handout]{beamer}

However, when doing this the \AtBeginsection macro does not work properly any more and the agenda slide does not get generated correctly any more.

I have now idea why this is. Any suggestions???

Thanks,
Marcus
