I don't believe it! I looked again and you are right. I could have sworn
the last time I checked (this morning) it was using \mbox. Maybe related
to my working dir having some files owned by root - might not have had
the dead latest version of the user guide until just now. (or I'm making
it up, in which case sorry :)
This doesn't change the fact that if you open a new document and hit C-m
around some text in mathed, the View->Source window will show \mbox in
use.
I guess the behaviour changed after that part of the guide was written,
and maybe old LyX files should have instances of \textrm replaced by
\mbox on load, for consistency with what you will get if you add another
one.
Have fun,
Darren
