Thanks for your suggestion BH. I just moved my LyX user directory to the desktop. Started LyX back up. That created a new user directory in my library. On startup, I got the welcome screen (haven't seen that in ages). I starting a new file. Both problems disappeared. I notice that the bind file being used is now mac.bind but not the one in the (newly created) user directory, instead it is inside the LyX package content. Realizing that this worked, I (deleted the newly created user directory and) copied back my user directory to my library, but then moved my old tweaked mac bind file from the subdirectory bind in my user directory to my desktop. When I loaded LyX it had selected the unaltered mac bind in the package content and things were also working fine. So clearly the problem is my altered mac file. Attached is my old tweaked mac bind file. What is wrong with it? I know this isn't the proper way to do things anymore, but should it be causing a problem? I never had problems until recently (again, I don't know if it was 1.6.5 per se, or the upgrade to it). -Ivan
