Re: math-extern in lyx-1.2.0 is fantastic!
I would be very greatful for one example of how to use math-extern-- does one simply mark the expression in mathed and give the command math-extern maple maple-command in the minibuffer? Many thanks.

After all, this is the developer's lists and you can get some helps from others. This is indeed a severe limitation. I have a secret plan on how to overcome this deficiency, but it will take a while ;-} I volunteer to be the guinea pig for your secret plan. I personally only use the octave backend as some kind of built-in calculator, but if people are using it for serious work I think it could be added to the announcement at least on the web page. If you can, please do. cghan

highly irritating behaviour in LyX 1.1.3
Hi, In LyX 1.1.3, is it possible to make the mathmode work like it used to before - i.e. pressing the spacebar does not introduce additional spaces (on the screen) but jumps back either to the text mode or back to normal-mode from subscript mode! Thanks for any help.

Default Background Color
Hello, One used to be able to select the default background color with teh commandline option of -BackgroundColor --- what happened to this option in version 1.0*? If I am willing to recompile lyx, what changes should I make to get this option working again? I am working on RedHat 5.2 on a Pentium mmx. Thanks for any help.

Re: Label: Clicking Cancel crashes Lyx
yes, this happened to me too! several times. (Lyx 1.1.1 Redhat 6.0, Intel) Perhaps this has been corrected in 1.1.2! "Stephan E.
