Thanks for the tip, John. I found "plain.sty" and told LyX about it,
by adding it to the chkconfig.ltx and doc/LaTeXConfig.lyx.in files,
and running configure, but I don't know what you mean by "using ERC
to..." I found the file "plain.tex" in the base directory, but what's
the next step? LyX gives me an unknown command error, so I obviously
haven't done enough yet. Thanks again for the help.
Jim
