Thanks everybody for your help...I've gotten just about everything working =). I'm running LyX on Redhat 6.1, and the LaTeX importer is ghosted in the pulldown menu. LyX DID find Perl on my system. I've tried to reconfigure, but it's still ghosted. Should I just run the converter from a shell? If so, what's the binary named? Thanks! Jonathan Dinerstein [EMAIL PROTECTED]
