I mean that, instead of having a script, one could launch LyX with some special --remote flag saying ``hey, I do not want to run you, but just send this command to another running lyx for me, will you?''. The interest of doing that is that you do not need to know what means of communication is used and also lyx will read its own prefs to guess where the pipe is. And if you run lyx 1.3.0 and lyx 1.4.0cvs at the same time with different .lyx dirs, you will be sure to communicate with the right one. JMarc
