Windows LyX help

Hello,

I became interested in TeX and managed to install MikTeX on Windows 98.

It seemed like LyX was the logical choice for a word editor.

So I downloaded LyX for Windows and the required X-window server X-win32.

I have managed to install Linux in the past. However, I am lost in the

installation process, the instructions are beyond me.

Even setting up the X-window server. Has anybody done this for Windows

who knows of simpler and more complete documentation? For instance,

when I ran runlyx.bat it said it couldn't find the directory of the server.

So not knowing what to edit, I uninstalled everything and move it into

the directories that it was looking for. That got past just the first error

message. And the questions that the server installation asked, I had no

idea how to answer that for compatibility with LyX configuration.

So is there anyone who has actually done this on Windows98?

I intend to make a webpage out of this if successful.

Regards,

Stephen
