Thank you Richard, your method worked! Also, I discovered something else strange so will report it to you in case it helps you guys to repair/improve the software. With your method I go the folder and contents to display. IN that finder window, I can also search for 'example' to fine the file example_raw.lyx since there are so many files and folders inside. I can do that by choosing to search within that folder. HOWEVER, if I just open a usual finder window, and choose to search my whole computer for 'example_raw.lyx' or even just 'example', it will not show the file. It seems all the contents of the lyx app or folder or whatever it is, are somehow invisible to searching, except by the method Richard has detailed. Anyway, many thanks to you RIchard and all you nice people who have tried to help. Very much appreciated :-) May you all have a lovely New Year :-)
