This is bad practice and making your life harder than necessary. Because
you won't inherit any changes made to the bind file in newer version
(which is what when wrong for you).
For 1.5:
Do not change the mac.bind - file. Instead, make your OWN bind file
(with a different name, eg. MYFILE.bind) in the user directory, which
INCLUDES the original mac.bind file with
\bind_file mac.bind
and then redefine what you want different (what comes 'last' wins!), for
example
\bind "C-n" "math-insert \text "
\bind "M-m a" "math-insert \varphi "
Then select MYFILE in the Preferences.
For 1.6:
If you select "mac" in the Preferences and edit the shortcuts in the
Preferences, LyX does all of the above transparently (it creates a
user.bind in your user directory which contains your modifications - and
only those).
