Thanks. My hero :)
Do we apply directly or is my cvs building it in as I speak?

Keystrokes. It's all about keystrokes. M-g (or M-m g) as a prefix for
a greek character in the middle of a sentence is trivial enough for
finger-memory, and doesn't interrupt the flow of thought. By the time
you're getting to a third keystroke, it's getting in the way, and you
stop mid sentence.
Except for editing equations with arrays of super-, sub-, sub-super-,
etc.- scripts, raw LaTeX is fits my way of thinking more. LyX gets rid
of all those horrid keystrokes. This also plays heavily
into my use of vim rather than emacs.
hawk, who will drool uncontrollably if someone suggests a way to mix
vim commands into lyx . . .
