One way to do this - if I understand correctly what you want - is to use the \againframe command. You label the frame:
\begin{frame}[label=list]
and, in addition, you tell it to only display the first few slides:
\begin{frame}<1-3>[label=list]
then when you want to recall the frame, you use the \againframe command:
\againframe<4-5>{list}
It's best if there's no repetition of slides, otherwise the pdf generation gets confused over page labels (I don't know if that causes a problem with hyperlinks or is just annoying errors). Simulated repetition can be done by ensuring that, say, slides 3 and 4 display exactly the same thing.
I used this in this seminar. As one goes through, a certain definition is modified time and again. So each time, I want to recall the previous version and then modify it. There's only one frame but bits of it are displayed again and again. The code is as follows, I include this to show what can be done - it won't compile for anyone as is because it uses a few of my own shortcuts. But by comparing it with the resulting PDF (and in particular, comparing the beamer, trans, and handout versions), it should be clear how to achieve similar things.

"beamer can export to PDF or PS", beamer doesn't export anything. It is a LaTeX class and LaTeX compiles the document to PDF (pdflatex) or DVI (latex) which then is mostly converted to PS. There is of course no powerpointlatex, so you will need to convert the PDF or PS somehow to a format PP can read, which would be RTF (Rich Text Format) or some Windows vector format like EMF or WMF. However, I would do it either with one or the other software. They do not mix well.

There are free LaTeX editors that can show a PDF preview in a right panel with single buttom click (as
TeXworks) or automatically every x seconds when you are not typing, or only when synchronizing the PDF preview with the editor (asGummi).There also a commercial WYSIWYG editor (
BaKoMa) that probably work well with Beamer documents. Apparently PowerDot, Prosper, Seminar and Slides are also supported. (I'm not tried nothing of this, but you can try for free in the 28 days evaluation period).
