John, Thanks for the help. Did not find "letter.lyx" file but did find a "letter.layout" file in a "Layouts" folder.
Also, found a "revtex4.layout" file that (I presume) will help in getting Lyx to help with Phys. Rev. and other AIP journals. (My main problem, now.) Still need a little guidance in using these since they are not .lyx files (yet).
