LyX 1.5.2 on intel Macbook - same Problems

[Michael Thompson]

Bjorn and Bennett: In my brief moment of joy with
well-working converters, I tried
 to see if the trouble I had had with rtf2latex2e 
had disappeared.  It hadn't, but when I closed LyX
 and reopened, all of  Bjorn's and my trouble came 
back.  This time, my method of just trying them 
all seems not to have worked. 
Best, Michael
