Richard, thanks for the help. I really appreciate it.
I see you're now at Brown, my alma mater (mathematics).

Basically, what you need to do is run LaTeX manually instead of
letting
LyX do it for you. Detailed instructions follow.
Let's say your LyX file is /home/you/doc.lyx. Open it in LyX and
export
your LyX document as LaTeX (File>Export>LaTeX). It will turn up as
/home/you/doc.tex. Open a terminal and go to /home/you. (Better yet:
Create a temporary directory /tmp/lyx and copy doc.tex over there, so
you don't make a mess.) Now run:
#latex doc.tex
<<Much output follows>>
#bibtex doc
That will create /home/you/doc.bbl.
As far as pasting the .bbl file into the LaTeX file goes, here's
how we
do that. (I'd suggest you NOT try this with the LyX file.) Open
/home/you/doc.tex and /home/you/doc.bbl in whatever text editor you
like. TeXShop will do. So will anything else that is a text editor. At
or near the end of the LaTeX file you will find lines like these:
\bibliographystyle{/home/rgheck/files/texmf/bibtex/bst/base/heck}
\bibliography{/home/rgheck/files/bibtex/articles,/home/rgheck/files/
bibtex/books}
Delete (or comment out) these lines. Now paste the whole of the .bbl
file where those lines used to be. Save as /home/you/doc.new.tex.
We can check that this worked by now going back to /home/you/ and
running:
#latex doc.new.tex
<<Much output follows>>
#latex doc.new.tex
<<Much less output follows>>
Yes, twice. The second time, as noted, much less output should appear.
In particular, you should not see a bunch of "undefined citation"
warnings, which you will see the first time. This should create
doc.new.dvi, which you can now view using whatever dvi viewer you
wish.

I've got a .bib file and a .bst style file. A journal tells me to
make
from these a .bbl file, so I can include (as a TeX inset?) the .bbl
file in my LyX document and/or cut and paste the .bbl file into the
TeX file. Any suggestions on how to make such a .bbl file? I know I
need to "run BibTeX on the .bib file," but I'm not sure how to do
this
using TeXShop.
Any help would be appreciated.
