I personally think that LyX should include a warning about each and every feature that doesn't work reliably for whatever reason, including buggy software which LyX relies on. I was a new user once, and let me tell you the learning curve would be less steep if I knew which things were meant for more experienced gurus or which weren't working properly due to dodgy external software. Maybe there should be an option for setting the interface to Beginner/Experienced/Advanced.. and such things as the minibuffer and View->DVI would appear by default when setting the appropriate level. Maybe the levels can be defined by the contents of the different manuals. x I have read the Tutorial x I have read the Users Guide o I have read the Extended Features Guide => You have attained the level of Experienced. You will be promoted again after slaying the Evil Red Toad. Maybe we can upgrade the user based on how far they get with an inbuilt multiple choices quiz :) Have fun, Darren
