Following the above suggestions, here are my results:

MacTex and LyX were installed afresh.

gordonwatson@iMac ~ % head - 
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx -o abc.lyx testfile.lyx
head: -: No such file or directory
==> /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx <==

head: -o: No such file or directory
head: abc.lyx: No such file or directory
head: testfile.lyx: No such file or directory
gordonwatson@iMac ~ % head -1 
/Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Reources/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx
head: /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Reources/lyx2lyx/lyx2lyx: No such file or 
directory
gordonwatson@iMac ~ % python
zsh: command not found: python
gordonwatson@iMac ~ % python3
xcrun: error: invalid active developer path 
(/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: 
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun
gordonwatson@iMac ~ % open BTR19.new.lyx
The file /Users/gordonwatson/BTR19.new.lyx does not exist.

Then:

Tools->Reconfigure
The system reconfiguration has failed.
Default textclass is used but LyX may
not be able to work properly.
Please reconfigure again if needed.
