Stephen,
Thanks. I actually didn't have any insurmountable :-) problems getting
the new viewer to work. I created a new format (similar to PDF
(pdflatex) but with a different name), created a conversion path to get
from LyX to it (using pdflatex), inserted the viewer command I wanted
and added the directory containing the viewer to the PATH prefix (key
step). During debugging of this, I had a file opened by Acrobat Reader
(presumably because the viewer I wanted wasn't set up properly and LyX
reverted to the system file association for ".pdf"), so I thought I
could avoid that in the future by changing the extension. Apparently,
that thought was incorrect.
BTW, adding a new format, new converter, new viewer does not require
tinkering with LyX source.

I'm interested to know how you did this. If it is documented perhaps
you can point me to the instructions. I just noticed that Adobe released
Reader ver. 7.0 for Linux and Solaris.
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/7x/7.0/enu/
Maybe this is old news but I just noticed it. I dual boot and was
going to see how this worked out with FC4 as a LyX pdf viewer.
Regards,
Stephen
