Just noticed this. Immediately after the post to which you were responding, I 
recreated the converter that I had on the old computer. [There was only one, 
from a Scrivener-generated TeX file to LyX.] After reading the above I wonder 
if I should have done that.

Not sure what you mean by the "first non-comment line" of my preferences. Are 
your referring to preferences generally? Or to /file handling/converters 
specifically? And if the former, what specifically would be the "first 
non-comment line"?

Thanks,
