I absolutely agree with "programmer in me". So many of the messages in the 
LaTeX environment are pretty unhelpfull.
I can't find a .lyx file anywhere.
There is a .lyx directory in my home directory that contains a number of 
sub-directories and other files, such as preferences, but I can't find 
anything with \fontscheme in it.
However, I did a -- grep fontscheme ./* -- which produced nothing in my home 
directory but, in my working directory, produced:

./thesis5.lyx:\fontscheme default

This is not a structure I recognize.
Oh, maybe you meant <file name>.lyx, I was looking for some sort of hidden 
control file called ".lyx"?

I tried  less||vi||cat||grep||notepad on a lyx file and, sure enough, I got:

#LyX 1.3 created this file. For more info see http://www.lyx.org/
\lyxformat 221

followed by the main content.


With the help of Lyx Help->Customization Section 5.4 telling me about 
defaults.lyx, I located defaults.lyx in my home/.lyx/templates directory but 
can't see how to set up the fontscheme.


Well, now I tried  less||vi||cat||grep||notepad on defaults.lyx and got a 
preamble that looks more like the preferences that I set up for my lyx file 
but doesn't include a  /fontscheme.

From Help->Customization Section 5.4, maybe I should set Document templates: 
in the Lyx preferences dialogue to my home/.lyx/templates directory instead 
of its current setting which is /usr/local/share/lyx/templates/ ?? I'm a bit 
confused!

Thanks for your help


Roger
