The .bst file has all the logic to deal with your .bib file - including what to parse and what not to parse, and what to show when. I have yet to find a BibTeX editor that offers a little bit of intuitive style handling as well. If you're familiar with sed, you can manipulate your .bib file to your liking (remove the url keys so they do not get parsed by your style, or use a different style). -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1
Re: Downloading Lyx
I just did a Windows install and the same thing happened to me. At the time, the file selector was showing Program Files (x86). I just added "\MiKTeX" manually and installation proceeded from there.

I think that is the only US use of the term "Imperial" with respect to measurements. No apparently there are 8 pints in an Imperial gallon according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pint US and Imperial pints aren't the same. Not that I would know the only time I see a pint is when I'm in my local bar having a 20 fl oz (Imperial) pint of beer. I don't think we, in Canada, use pints for anything else. I've been in a commerical kitchen where there was mass confusion when a recipe called for x pints of Y.

URL appearing in reference list with apa6
I seem to have gotten LyX back in action for the moment with apa6. However am
having a minor problem with a bibliography item. For some reason it is
including a URL which I don't want.
The URL is correct, in that I did download the reference from someplace,
but I don't want it in a journal entry since it is not a website, etc and the
download time and date are not relevant.
I am handling my references with Zotero and it is creating a nice little bib
file as I play around but why am I getting the URL in the reference. Or perhaps
more correctly --how do I turn it off? I can easily edit the bibtex entry but
I suspect a lot of my references in real life willl have this and it might mean
a lot of hand editing.
Zotero and OpenOffice.org handle the reference correctly, BTW.
Examples attached
Thanks

by all bicyclists (unless exempted) came into effect in Victoria,
Australia. Some of the more important steps that paved the way for
this important initiative (believed to be the first statewide legislation
of its type in the world) are described, and the initiative's effects
are analysed. There was an immediate increase in average helmet-wearing
rates from 31\% in March 1990 to 75\% in March 1991, although teenagers
continued to show lower rates than younger children and adults. The
number of insurance claims from bicyclists killed or admitted to
hospital after sustaining a head injury decreased by 48\% and 70\%
in the first and second years after the law, respectively. Analysis
of the injury data also showed a 23\% and 28\% reduction in the number
of bicyclists killed or admitted to hospital who did not sustain
head injuries in the first and second post-law years, respectively.
For Melbourne, where regular annual surveys of helmet wearing have
been conducted, it was possible to fit a logistic regression model
that related the reduction in head injuries to increased helmet wearing.
Surveys in Melbourne also indicated a 36\% reduction in bicycle use
by children during the first year of the law and an estimated increase
in adult use of 44\%.},
