Thanks Lars. I didn't know about these. They aren't in my version of the manual. So the basic tenant still holds. What we have is functional code using external programs. What we should do is make use of the GUI library's own routines and fall back on the external programs only as a last resort. Incidentally, do you know if these routines will block LyX's operation or can the files be loaded non-blocking? Angus
