Thanks Kornel, Before making a move like that, I'd need to see some documentation spelling out exactly how to do it. There are many different definitions of "copy a line"; where, in what context, etc. I already spent 6 hours getting past this problem, and I don't want to spend another 6 because I blew up my LyX system doing the wrong thing.
