In many ways I agree, but I also think that several scripts would benefit from knowledge of the various lyxdirs. Not least because we could create a library of useful shell functions rather than copy code into each and every script we distribute. Returning to the original problem, perhaps your $$converter{latex, dvi} suggestion is the 'least worst' after all. -- Angus
