The proper way it to rename the package if you change something. This is mandatory for packages under the LaTeX 3 license. It ensures that no confusion arises from different behaviour of packges with the same name. (It will not be a big problem if you keep the modified package for yourself but still renaming is a good idea.) > I would love to do it with lyx but the problem is it uses the default > package even if I put the .syt package in the same folder as my .lyx > file.

I have lyx 1.5.5 and R 2.7 on Ubuntu 8.04 You could rather store the modified package somewhere in the tex path. On my Debian system, ~/texmf/tex/latex would be the right place, I suppose it is the same in Ubuntu. Günter
