Yes, you are. I apologize for causing confusion. Though I would suggest not to place the lyxdbg script in src/lyx, but elsewhere. src/ has the source code; the script should be somewhere else. Maybe in the lyx-devel root directory? In that case you may want `dirname $0`/src/lyx in the for-loop. But as long as the script is not (yet) accepted into CVS, this is not an important issue. > You do seem to assume that I cd to the lyd directory tree before running > the script.

Anyway, your use is also legitimate and using dirname above should solve that problem. Cheers, Rob. PS: wonder if someone else has noticed the charm of your script!?!
