Eric, following on Enrico's excellent suggestion, here is how you can solve your Scrivener-related problem in a Lyx-way. The developers are working on a permanent solution, it seems. So this may turn unnecessary very shortly. At any rate, here it goes: 1, Create a new format in Tools>>Preferences>>File formats. Click "New" and call it Scrivener or something like it. 2. Save. 3. In Tools>>Preferences>>FIle Converters, create a new converter from Scrivener to Lyx: select "Scrivener" in the From dropdown list, and "Lyx" in the "to list. Enter the call to tex2lyx with the UTF8 switch in the "Converter field": tex2lyx -e UTF8 -f $$i $$o 4. Click "Add" and click "Save." Now you should have the "Scrivener" (or whatever you called the format) option in File>>Import, without needing to go to the command line. In fact Lyx does internally exactaly what you'd on the command line.
