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.
