Thanks very much, Dekel. I'm using lyx 1.1.4fix3 at the
moment, but I'm doing a complete reinstall Very Soon Now,
which will give me the latest version as of Mandrake 8.1.

A new screenplay class
Hi, I'm interested in using lyx for screenplays, but the existing class (Hollywood) is not suitable. I deleted some parts of the class that didn't work as expected (FADE IN/FADE OUT and the title page). That left me with two problems remaining... The speaker name and following dialogue (or parenthetical) should not be separated by so much space: KEN It should be like this... KEN Instead of like this. The other problem is with the header: what it's like now is a page number terminated in a period, with a horizontal line separating the header from the body of the text. What I need is a simple page number (preferably in the same typeface as the text) with no period or separating line. Could I just skip fancyhdr and put a page number to the upper right corner? One last thing: it would be nice to be able to associate uppercase with certain screen elements; that is, for the INT. and EXT., transitions, and speaker name to fold automatically to uppercase. Is this just wishful thinking? Thanks for your time...
