    Well, I'm not sure that's _really_ true.  But, if it is, then
explaining how LyX is got to do that would answer my query. Proposing an experimental process by which it is hoped that the
    answer might be found would be another matter.

See attached example for using chicago.bst with natbib.

Thank you.  That template answered a large share of my questions.

However, chicago,bst does not actually produce a bibliography conforming to the demands of journals published by the U Chicago.

A specific issue is in the handling of the titles of articles. U Chicago wants these followed by a period and then enclosed in quotation marks. There is a standard response found on the web for enclosing titles in quotation marks, but it is not conforming, because the period is placed outside of the marks.

Looking at the structure of chicago.bst, it seems that a fix would certainly be possible but non-trivial.

It appears that the most practical solution is still going to be for me to punt to using the command-line programs.
