Bennett, It seems that it is possible to set environment variables (like PATH maybe) of an application in its info.plist, using the LSElement key, as described here: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPRuntimeConfig/Concepts/EnvironmentVars.html http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPRuntimeConfig/Concepts/PListKeys.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001431/BCIGFHGH
Could you take a look at this? I'd really like to get rid of the hardcoding of PATH in lyx startup code and use this instead. JMarc
