Hi
When I use LyX 2.4.1 on an old lyx file, I expect it to be updated to
version 2.4.1.
This does not happen.
Should I expect it to happen or this a feature awaiting development>

As long term user of LyX (since its beginning) I love it.
BUT
Since installing 2.4.0 then 2.4.1 I have had a problem it took me 3 days
to solve:
an early user on my system could not see any of the characters in a LyX
file.
The LyX could create a usable PDF file and print that OK.

I second that.

It is the best software ever written (apart possibly from Unix/Linux).

Is there a neat way to call LyX to edit
a created file without spawning a new

Possibly the pipe feature could be used for
this purpose.

I am trying to create standard letters in LyX

These letters get generated from database
records.
It is all working beautifully BUT for this
one thing!
I need to be able to include standard clauses
from a set using datafile criteria to determine
which clauses get in

I arrived at the above by unconprehending trial and error. There may be

You just don't want to give up your

catchphrase.
Me, I believe that once you have the Greek letter y present, that makes
the
X a CHI (else why is presented as uppercase?).
So (in the spirit of TeX = "teck" put me down for LyX = "lick"
