That's true for most OS X users, but not all. If you want to use multi-platform programs, you have to put up with a certain amount of non-Mac behavior. (As do Windows and Linux users, when using programs primarily written to run on a different system.) I'm just glad that LyX is available on OS

That's a stumper - an empty app would have nothing to run. If LyX actually runs, then the app can't possibly be empty. In OS X, the Finder presents an app as a single file, but it's actually an application bundle that contains the executable and other resources (in the case of LyX the other
