Sorry no I don't think so, but thanks for trying to help.
To conclude: I strongly recommend that anybody importing graphics into
LaTex for the first time read "Using imported graphics in LaTex 2e" [1].
That's not the problem here, I have imported gazillions of graphics into
lyx, latex, and pdflatex before, on windows, linux, and mac (ok, now I'm
sounding like a real braggard, but I hope I convinced you...)

Oh, no, I didn't doubt your experience. I was quoting the author
for completeness in that regard. My idea was about understanding
the process (SH: "I think it may help (maybe only me) to understand
the process.") It seems to me the behavior you are annoyed with is
probably done by design, even if that design is flawed or not optimal.
I got that idea from the author's attempt to speed things up:
"I ran this program through Windows 2000's MS-DOS prompt
emulator and from the MIKTex "BIN" folder. In order to save
time (in the short term) I copied the necessary files:
a.. documentname.dvi
b.. graph.eps
c.. graph.pdf
to the BIN folder."
SH: This made me think the recompile was not immediate.
Of course I don't have your experience to know if in other
versions of LyX, that the update occurred instantly. My
experience runs more toward how computers run programs,
rather than how specific programs tend to do things. The
interesting thing to me was that writing a character, and then
deleting it, usually makes an editor see the file as new, and
you reported that this wasn't the case, so I wondered why
this case was didn't function as usual--> Paul's explanation?!

Stephen
