I don't know much about Windows, but in Linux I just make a shellscript (like a batch file) called jj, and use that to compile. If I were willing not to reindex and the like, I could make another one called jjj that just does a short compile. Either way, what I do for speed is compile only to .dvi, and then view the dvi. For instance: lyx --export latex myfile.lyx latex myfile.tex xdvi myfile.dvi Much shorter than if I compiled all the way to ps or pdf (unless I were using pdflatex, of course). By scripting it, YOU tell it exactly what to include and what to leave out. HTH SteveT Steve Litt Author: Universal Troubleshooting Process books and courseware http://www.troubleshooters.com/
