Thank you; I didn't know about that option. It isn't, though, exactly
what I need. (This isn't a complaint, at all, just a note about what
might be useful in some future version.) I would like to have acute-
accented "r" and acute-accented "m" treated the same, as though LaTeX
only knew about 7-bit encodings (even though I'm using T1-encoded
fonts). The reason is that I use the tipa package for IPA phonetic
transcriptions, and tipa uses T3-encoded fonts, an encoding LyX doesn't
(yet) know about. A Latin-1 r-with-acute-accent character and a LaTeX
"\'r" produce quite different results -- only the latter prints an
acute-accented "r". So, it would be useful someday, if I could get
Lyx to store away "\i \'{r}" when I put an acute accent on an "r",
just as now it stores away "\o \'{m}" when I put one on an "m".
