More reading reveals: (Note to self: Read more carefully -- before posting next time.) If I create the purple equation box and type \downarrow in it, automagically an down arrow appears, per discussion in Section 5.1, Basic Math Editing, in the User Manual.
However, I still cannot find Mathed, nor MathPanel. Can someone help me?

I just realized that attempting to insert a math formula from the Insert menu only puts a small purple box in the document but that I do not seem to have access to the pieces I had in prior versions. In the past clicking some place on the menus or on the buttons -- I forget which -- got me just what I'm looking for. Perusal of the manuals included with Lyx suggest that there is a Math menu that provides a Math popup that makes these available. I have seen this before, but I am unable to see a Math menu item anywhere. My system has Lyx version 1.1.6 fix 3, distributed with Debian 3.0 (Woody), circa Nov 2001, system not on net yet. If you need more system data, please advise. Please point me to the document, or web site where this and other information may be found. David Teague
