I might be beginningTe to understand this, Guenter. I don't have any problem using the terminal. I just didn't understand what the command did. I may still not be clear, but after much mindless poking around in and about LyZ and LaTeX I'm guessing that it copies a LaTeX class into LyZ as a layout. I haven't tried the help for the command, yet, but will do so. Should straighten me out if I'm crooked.
