Charles, I looked at my (basic) lyx file in a text editor and it seems a simple structure of (custom?) latex type commands (e.g. \layout).
Reading the extended manual, I guess that you suggest I should export my lyx file into latex, edit the latex file and then import into lyx when I am able to use lyx? Thanks in advance. Yours, René. linux mandrake 92 gnome 24 lyx 132 latex 2e (01-06-01) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
