Does anyone out here in lyx-list-land :) use these layouts, and wouldn't
mind "chatting" with Jonathan about it? He knows nothing about lyx in
general (I pointed him to the homepage).

Well, I use it for chemistry documents, so I have no examples for you
directly. But I can list the environments I see for hollywood. They are
Dialogue, Narrative, FADE IN:, INT., EXT., Speaker, Transition,
Parenthetical, FADE OUT:, Right Address, Author, Title, and Standard (a
standard paragraph).
"Broadway" is somewhat similar, but with other references to acts, scenes,
and curtains.
BTW, the Lyx mailing list is one of the very best I've run across for people
looking for help.

No. I checked there and found it listed directly.
I'll forward this to that list to see if someone else uses those classes,
who might be able to send you a postscript or pdf "sample."

It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he
doesn't really need a college education, for he can learn them from
books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not the
learning of many facts but the training of the mind to thinking--something
that cannot be learned from books. Albert Einstein
