This indees does not work :-/ Does this work on Linux? I didn't have changed
any of that code!

This does work on my system! You need to set the following in your lyxrc
file:
\ps_command "/apps/gs4.03/bin/gs"
In my example lyxrc file there is (as a comment) a wrong path set to
ghostview (with a leading '//c').

Again a path problem with that Win32-Program! If you're interested, i.e. if
you do need this feature asap (???) I can write a shell script to correct
that problem!

This seems to be an internal LyX error! When you open the document manually,
i.e. File->Open then change directory into
file://c/Cygwin/usr/local/lyx/share/doc (prefix file: inserted by Outlook
Express!) and open the file all went well!
I will check, how Lyx creates the filename if selected by Help->UserGuide.
This should be in a way, that does not take the configuration in account! As
far as I can see now LyX will just prefix the unix-filename
/usr/local/lyx/share/lyx/doc/UserGuide.lyx with an '//c' although this is
not okay!
Try to open the files manually so far! I will check and mail you if I can
fix that problem!
