Hi Richard, I read the preceding sentence three times and still don't understand it. Because the preceding sentence is of vital importance to me, I'm going to ask specific questions for clarification... My lyx doc is /d/at/books/stories/stories.lyx My layout file is /home/slitt/.lyx/layouts/storybook.layout As far as I know, the output of my LyX document is dumped in the directory containing stories.lyx (/d/at/books/stories). The first step of my script uses lyx --export pdf or lyx --export latex. Later parts of the script place the finished pdf in /d/at/books/pdf, but I don't think that's of interest. Which of the following should be my current directory when I run /usr/share/lyx/configure.py? ___ /d/at/books/stories ___/d/at/books/pdf ___/home/slitt ___/home/slitt/.lyx ___/home/slitt/.lyx/layouts ___Other _________________________________ Thanks SteveT
