I see. The (1.3.5) Extended Features guide only refers to clicking on
"the index button" not to clicking on "an index entry button". To avoid
confusion, it should perhaps say (if in the new version it doesn't
already):
"Clicking on an index entry ("Idx") button re-opens the index tag,
allowing you to edit it (LaTeX is accepted so be careful about adding
any special characters) and use the advanced options provided by the
makeindex helper application you are using (see XXX)."
Using "an", "index entry", "Idx" and "tag" (which is what the Guide
already calls this) makes it less confusing (or so I hope).

I wanted to change how makeindex is called by LyX (perhaps in 1.4 this
is configurable in the preferences), but I found a wrapper script to do
this already.
