Dear Mr. Baum and Mr. Rubin, Thanks for your help. It appears I have some of the class files, but I am missing many of the other classes. I seem to have many layout files without corresponding class files. Still, some of the class files I have don't appear to work. Do they all need to be in a particular directory?

LyX needs to know that stuff is there (meaning that LyX needs to be reconfigured and restarted if any of the above change). How does your installation stack up against that checklist? /Paul
