Hi,
I'm using lyx 1.6.2 on Vista 32 bit.
I have svn 1.6 installed (sliksvn release) and it works fine, with the
programs running OK from the standard command prompt.
I have tried using File / Version Control / Register on files in
directories that are already in svn (and also not).
But, it pops up:
Some problem occured while running the command:
'ci -q -t-"(no initial description)" "mydoc.lyx"'.
I don't even have an RCS port on this machine!
The documentation isn't very extensive - what do I need to do?

See section 6.2.4.1 of the Additional Features manual. The Register
menu option appears only if the document is not already under version
control. In order to register it with Subversion, though, the
*directory* in which it sits needs to be under version control (and that
needs to be done outside LyX). So first use sliksvn (or something else)
to check the directory into a repository (or checkout files from a
repository into the directory), then try again.
Incidentally, TortoiseSVN is a very handy graphical client for Windows.
It adds Subversion commands to the context menu in Windows Explorer.
