Not sure this discovery of mine is relevant, but this note might be useful to
those that do not have access to a good working lyx on *all* machines...Perhaps
 use any plain text editor with use of PANDOC format.  

Pandoc, a variant of markdown syntax, is a quick way to make plain text to tex
file to a larger lyx document on your main machine.  Pandoc can accept headings,
links, and other key formatting you need when making a draft. Plus it can accept
latex/ERT in the body of text, etc.  I use it on systems that I do not have lyx
installed on (linux servers without X, temporary PCs, etc,)

Also for short documents, one can use it to --in one command--go from
text to nicely formatted pdfs via latex underneath. One can output text to many
other formats.
