minor bug: filenames for print commands
While trying to print and send to export-custom-ascii for an envelope-printing command we use, I found that a filename like es.lyx, though perfectly legal in Unix, will fail in LyX. I suspect filenames like this, because of the character, need to be protected in the shell commands that are used for some printing and export operations. I got the printing to work by reconfiguring LyX to use dvips without printing to a file first. I could not get the export-custom-ascii to work until I changed the filename. Hardly a top priority, but it had me cursing until I figured out what was awry. -- Ronald Florence Maple Lawn Farm, Stonington, CT [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.connix.com/~mlfarm -- +++ the lyx project user mailing list +++ To unsubscribe from this list send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the **Subject** unsubscribe.

1.0.0pre8 - newbie's first reactions
Jeff Breidenbach writes: I assumed emacs's latex-mode was as good as it got. [...] I tried 1.0.0pre8 for the first time [...] and loved the search and replace tool. I apologize to Jeff for editing his comments so brutally. After using LyX for almost a year, and after many years of AucTeX under emacs, I share Jeff's enthusiasm for LyX, with one exception. The emacs search and replace tools are far more functional and flexible than those in LyX. Indeed, the LyX tool is so cumbersome and limited in functionality that I frequently revert to searching a group of lyx files with xemacs to find what I need. Some features I'd like to see in LyX search and replace: - regular expressions; - search multiple files, like all of the chapters of a book project; - initiate a search, find next, search backwards,replace yes/no all from the keyboard without having to use the mouse; - incremental search (like emacs). If those features could be added into a future version of LyX, my xemacs would fade away from lack of use. -- Ronald Florence Maple Lawn Farm, Stonington, CT [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.connix.com/~mlfarm -- +++ the lyx project user mailing list +++ To unsubscribe from this list send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the **Subject** unsubscribe.

Hello to all users of lyx! I would like to know how can I
make to get no line at the top of the first page when I say

fancy.
For `book' style documents, you can put
\thispagestyle{plain}
\frontmatter
on your first page, in TeX mode.

Re: EVERYONE READ THIS - european.kmap
Jacek M. Holeczek, More of us might read your postings to the list if you would stop shouting EVERYONE READ THIS on and in each message. I have procmail filters set to routinely route email with all-cap phrases like that one in the subject header to /dev/null. Email on a mailing list is a conversation. If you have something interesting and useful to say, we're all listening. We don't need to be shouted at with repeated messages filled with phrases in all-caps and multiple exclamation points.

underdot letters (LyX-0.12.0, Solaris-2.6) ?
While we're on extended alphabets, for transliterated Hebrew and Yiddish I'd welcome help configuring a Solaris-Sparc system to create underdot letters in LyX with the compose key. I can do them by setting up a keyboard mapping with \kmod . underdot hH in LyX, but that has the unacceptable disadvantage of pausing when I type a period as it waits to see if the next letter gets the underdot. Are there xmodmap commands that will let the sequence compose.h and compose.H produce an h or H with an underdot?

Find and replace limitation
Reuben Thomas writes: After some weeks' use of LyX, I find that my biggest annoyance is with Find and Replace. There are three problems: 1. No incremental search 2. No regular expressions 3. You can't seem to express characters you can't type on the keyboard, so you can't search for ellipsis (\dots) or bits of math as you can in a text editor. I hate to send a me-too, especially after our mailboxes have been barraged by bogus email, but I second these suggestions as among the most important `wants' in LyX. As much as I like LyX, I find that I constantly have to go over to xemacs to do any useful search operations. Is it possible to borrow some of the superb incremental and regular expression search code from emacs/xemacs for LyX? -- Ronald Florence Maple Lawn Farm, Stonington, CT [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.connix.com/~mlfarm -- +++ the lyx project user mailing list +++ To unsubscribe from this list send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the **Subject** unsubscribe.
