Actually, I'm told I should "run BibTeX on my source tex file," but when

Suggestions?

I've got a .bib file and a .bst style file. A journal tells me to make
from these a .bbl file, so I can include (as a TeX inset?) the .bbl

TeX file. Any suggestions on how to make such a .bbl file? I know I
need to "run BibTeX on the .bib file," but I'm not sure how to do this
using TeXShop.
Any help would be appreciated.

You have to export to latex, run latex against the .tex file (this
produces the .aux file), then run bibtex against the .tex file.
An easier solution may be to View->DVI in LyX, and (while the DVI file
is open) cruise to the temp directory LyX is using. There should be a
copy of the .bbl file there.
