Thanks Sebastian.  I appreciate the expert assistance.  I have a  
simple export to Beamer working and was trying to implement automatic  
export of columns, too.  The starred sections were going to be  
placeholders for the columns heading level when it wasn't used.  I've  
found that skipping a headline level in the source causes the latex  
exporter to skip over subsequent inferior levels, so it isn't possible  
to assign a heading level to columns and then use them or not as the  
case requires.  I'm actually quite happy with the simple export I have  
working.  Beamer templates that show the document structure are easy  
to write to using org-mode, where document structure is so important.

All the best,
Tom
