yes,
\url is only valid with a \usepackage{url} that's all.
Well, can you then explain one thing to me: I have a 30-page scientific
article written with LyX using the same test.bst I mailed to you. The
preamble of this document is _empty_, i.e. no \usepackage{url} and
there are several bibtex-entries in my .bib file containing just
url={site}, not url={\url{site}}. The output of this document works
perfectly, the urls in the bibliography are formatted as they should be
when using e.g. Insert->URL (or Insert->ERT, \url{...}). According to
your argument cited above, this should not work?!?!
while (true) {
-- read some documentation how LyX works
-- there is a LyX specific (invisible), a layout-specific (invisible)
and a user specific (visible) preamble
-- If you use anything inside LyX (without ERT!), which needs
the package url, then LyX inserts in its (invisible)
preamble a \usepackage{url}. If you use a layout for
a documentclass, which itself may have some preamble
stuff, it is also insert by default.
}
export the LyX file to LaTeX and have a look, what LyX inserts
into its preamble.
