Basically this is not possible since that would create a very bad
presentation.
But you can always hack the system. Either copy & paste the entire slide
and do not use overlays but let every slide have its own transition or do
something like
\documentclass[pdf]{prosper}
\begin{document}
\overlays{3}{
  \ifnum\value{overlaysCount}=1%
    \def\temp{\begin{slide}[Wipe]{test}Wipe\\}\fi
  \ifnum\value{overlaysCount}=2%
    \def\temp{\begin{slide}[Replace]{test}Replace\\}\fi
  \ifnum\value{overlaysCount}=3
    \def\temp{\begin{slide}[Box]{test}Box\\}\fi
\temp
test test test test test test test test test test test test test test
\fromSlide{2}{test test test test test test test test test test test}
\fromSlide{3}{test test test test test test test test test test test}
\end{slide}
}
\end{document}

This requires some programming: the editor should engage DDE with
acrobat. Contact your editors author.
