Yeah, hopefully you saw my second note where I said that we needed to keep it... Good thing I wasn't actually editing last night...it was way too late, and I was way too tired... :) Query: do we mention anyhwere in the Intro or Tutorial that most dialogs are not modal in LyX? That is, do we explain any place that most dialogs can actually stay open while you actually work on your document. That's something that is very different from most of the similar products out there, and I think it should be mentioned. If it's not in the Intro or Tutorial, a sentence or two could be added to 1.2.2.2 in the UG. I think that would be a good place for it since we are talking about the elements / properties of dialogs in that section. > In the Intro and Tutorial, I used both.

I plan to do this in two, possibly three passes: - First deal with the "popups" changes, then send you a patch. - Second: go through and look for dialog / menu changes. (Send another patch) - Third: if I find other substantial changes, go back and work on them. The third part is where I think we're more likely to encounter the moving targets, so it's best to hold back a little and see how things shape up. // George
