Daniel,
Thanks, I will bear this in mind, but I am still having problems
finding my way around the Mac file structure

It depends on how you installed TeX. If you used MacTeX, it can be
found at:
/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/doc/latex/beamer/doc/
beameruserguide.pdf
Also how do I install extra classes. This all seemed failry
obvious with MikTex on Windows but struggling to find my way
around the Mac.
The standard location is ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex. (Note that LyX
won't recognize extra classes unless you have an
appropriate .layout file.)
Note that the beamer package contained in TeXLive 2007 is rather
old. Unfortunately there seems not to be a simple package update
option, like in MikTeX. I download the newest versions of beamer/
pgf and install them manually. It is not a big thing, though, you
just have to use the shell to copy some files.
