It is IMPOSSIBLE for the paper version to hold three minipages at the same
location. Is it possible as part of the supremacy of pdfLatex with various

\rightline{twma at maths.uwa.edu.au}

\bigskip  %% set up the first page

\fbox{\parbox[t]{.6\linewidth}{This is part of the mainbody
floating around three minipages located at the SAME
position on the right of this box.\\
If you \fbox{click me} ,
the minipage on the right will change from page-1, to 2, to 3
and then back to page-1. You can see only ONE page at A TIME,
not three as in this example.}}
\hfill\fbox{\begin{minipage}[t]{.3\linewidth}
This is the first minipage.
$$\frac{1+2}{3}=1$$
\end{minipage}}

What should we do with the other two pages ??

\fbox{\begin{minipage}[t]{.3\linewidth}
This is the second minipage.
$$\int_0^1xdx=\frac{1}{2}$$
\end{minipage}}
\hfill
\fbox{\begin{minipage}[t]{.3\linewidth}
This is the third minipage.
$$\frac{d}{dx}\ x^2=2x$$
\end{minipage}}
