Hi all,

I'm trying to write a layout file for Operations Research (an INFORMS journal with rather, er, specific LaTeX requirements, and I'm stumped on the very first one. INFORMS uses a generic class file and specifies which of their journals is the target (which affects various formatting things) via an option to the document class. So I need the emitted LaTeX to say

  \documentclass[opre]{informs1}

at the top. The only way I can see to pass the opre option in a layout file is to use something like

#  \DeclareLaTeXClass[informs1]{article (Oper. Res.)}
...
ClassOptions
...
    Other      opre
End

Only it does not work -- the LaTeX output contains

  \documentclass[11pt,oneside,english]{informs1}

which is sorely lacking the journal option (opre). Is this the wrong way to specify an option to \documentclass, or am I erring in some visible way?
I'm afraid I don't know anything about class options in layout files. (I do know that there have been some bug reports.) But as a workaround for now, you could just pass the option manually in Document>Settings>Document Class. Maybe that'd even be best, since you wouldn't have to do different files for different options. (Of course, once modules are on the scene, with 1.6, that sort of thing will become easier.)
