Ah, I see; it just gives you several executables in a drop down list rather than asking you to type one in. > I do see ispell in the /sw/bin directory, but i dont see an option to > specify the path to ispell under the preferences dialog box of LyX. Sounds like /sw/bin isn't in your path. Have you specified a PATH environment variable in an environment.plist file in your ~/.MacOSX directory? If not, create the file out of the following: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple. com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>PATH</key> <string>/sw/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/local/lib:/us r/sbin:/etc:/usr/X11R6/bin</string> <key>SHELL</key> <string>/bin/bash</string> <key>DISPLAY</key> <string>:0.0</string> </dict> </plist> Change your shell as appropriate if you don't use bash. delete the DISPLAY key and the 0.0 string if you don't use X11. You might also add the path to your tex executable if you didn't install tetex via fink, and add/delete other dirs in the PATH string to suit your needs. Chris Menzel
