You have to right-click on LyX.app, then "show package contents", and navigate to Resources/examples. The file example_raw.lyx is one of many. This feature of LyX on Mac is not very user-friendly, in my opinion. Some templates are only accessible this way, too. Maria

When you go to open, is there a button that is called "Examples" ? For me, it is in the upper-right corner next to a button called "Documents". I can also activate that button by pressing alt+e. Does either the button or the key-combination alt+e work for you? Scott
