Hi Sirs,
First, although I could write arabic well with arabtex, I couldn't mix Arabic
and English in the same document.
Example: if I typed the letter "h" and view the pdf file, I get the Arabic
letter "WAW". If I select this same letter "h" and pressed "F12" I got an RTL
justification and the letter "h" change to Arabic "WAW" on screen. But view
-> pdf gives this error:
LaTeX Error: File `unknown.def' not found.
\endinput

My preference file conains these lines:
-------------------------
# MISC SECTION ######################################

My cua.bind file contains the line
\bind "F12" "language arabic"

Exporting the file to TeX gives this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[unknown,latin1]{inputenc}

\begin{document}
\begin{arabtext}
\begin{arabtext}
\inputencoding{unknown}
h\end{arabtext}
\end{arabtext}
\end{document}

Second, I couldn't figure out whether I could use omega with lyx to type
Arabic. Any commnets?!
