I didn`t address this fully, so a follow-up.

No, I don`t believe in monolithic applications/all-in-one.  Most of the
software, I use, is modular  e.g. qmail as opposed to sendmail.

But, I want to do a lot of things via a GUI app (e.g.lyx) that links to
other app`s.

The DVI, pdf, ps, are not part of lynx, they are probably piped to those
other applications when you click the button.  The same for the spell
checker etc.

But I would like to create a document, and be able to output it into a
variety of formats with minimal, hand changes.

If anyone has better options, please do say something.  

Like I said, latex/lyx kept coming up so I was hoping I could focus on
content and not spend most of the time learning and babying a convoluted
system.
