PPT 2003 on XP. I have a PPT show designed for self navigation for elearning.
The user works through the main thread of the slide show until they reach
aslide with one or more action buttons, that give a lead into small custom
shows that give supplementary information, and then return to the original
slide. There may be up to 4 action buttons on this slide.

Things are now working out well. The only issue is that sometimes when you
get back to the main slide you have to hammer two or three times on the
keyboard to get the main slide show to resume. (This main slide has no
animation on it).
Any thoughts how I can smooth this out?

I have a second question: Is it possible to end a slide show just with a
forward keyboard click on the chosen slide? (not a mouse cursor/click)
 
When you hyperlink to a custom show you should NOT use a return button eg
"last slide viewed" or "slide x". This leaves the custom show(s) open and can
cause the problem you mention. Have a look at custom shows on our help site
here
http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk to see how to use "show & return" and end show
