You use one of those Mac thingies, right? Isn't there a way to rub the machine's case and then tell the genie what you need?

I love the Mac genie, in part because she protects me from things that I _generally_ don't need or want to see, like this /tmp folder. A mac guru friend has taught me how to get past that protection in order to find /tmp and the .bbl file., which was produced, as you pointed out, by View > DVI.

Thanks for the help, Paul.

An easier solution may be to View->DVI in LyX, and (while the DVI file is open) cruise to the temp directory LyX is using. There should be a copy of the .bbl file there.
Thanks, Paul. How would I find this temporary directory?

Alternatively, Tools->Preferences...->Paths->Temp directory should point you to the parent directory of the buffer. You'll have to drill down a level or so from there.
