Thanks for the info, but I was actually wondering how to run the executable. Though I can locate it, I'm not sure how to get it to run outside of the .app package. Simply trying to issue the "lyx" command in a terminal results in a command not found error, even when issuing said command from /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/MacOS. Thanks for your patience, Kelly
