Thanks.

Yes, but I impatient.  I backup regularly. :)  If something goes seriously
wrong, the nice think about LyX is that I can still read the .lyx files in a
text editor!

I used to prefer putting everything in one file but then I started including
large png images that greatly increased the compiling times. Because I like
to frequently preview my work by compiling to pdf I was frustrated how long
it was taking so broke everything to separate chapters. In addition to
speeding up previewing, LyX also slowly eats up my RAM. Keeping. I prefer
not collapsing my images (I would if they collapsed to small image icons),
so keeping the chapters separately means I don't open all images at once.

Great. I look forward to it. Maybe my programming skills will be good enough
one day to be of some help. I'm really only experienced with basic C at the
moment.


Cheers,

Chris.
