It tells LyX that this converter is some latex compiler. It needs to know that in order to handle some special latex things. Search for latex in src/converter.C if you want to know more. > I found by trial that in my system (onder os/2, still not working but > improving :) latex works in lyx (i.e. it translates the file from tex to > dvi) only if I delete the "latex" extra flag. Does this mean anything? Yes. The missing flag hides some other problem, it is definitely needed. > Any possible side effect? Yes. Look in the file I cited above. IIRC I already told you that making LyX work again under OS/2 will be a lot of work, so you are warned ;-) Georg
