Either suggestion would have worked. I I have elected to resolve the problem within LyX as suggested by BH and Murat. But thanks to you, too, Stephan.

Go to the place you've LyX installed. Use the context menu on the LyX application icon and choose "Open package" (I have "Paketinhalt zeigen" here). Open the Folder Contents and drag the Folder "Resources" to the left and place to link there. <> Whenever you use the "File Open" dialog of LyX you have the link to the system resources at hand now. You may go into examples or into templates as you like. Stephan
Re: Just getting started
I have always had problems to access to examples and also to the templates since I have switched to OSX. I have observed that LyX2 look for the templates in the folder ~/library/Application support/Lyx2.0 So, I have copied the examples and the templates folders from the application bundle to this location. Now I can access both using File/"Open from template" menu item (I am translating the names from French so they can be slightly different for your system). 2011/6/11 Eric Weir > > On Jun 10, 2011, at 8:50 PM, BH wrote: > > > On Mac, there's no easy way to get to the default examples folder.

Sorry -- I should have said to use -G in the File > Open dialog within LyX. You should be able to access it from within LyX. If you'd prefer to copy them somewhere else, a standard place might be: ~/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.0/examples BH

Thanks BH -- and to Paul and Waluyo was well. I can get to the examples folder through Finder, but not through the LyX file browser. Now that I've found it, is there some standardd place i should move or copy it to so it's available from within LyX itself? -- Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA eew...@bellsouth.net

On a Mac, try the Finder or ask Steve Jobs. :-) On Mac, there's no easy way to get to the default examples folder. It can be found at .../LyX.app/Contents/Resources/examples, which you can get to through the or the Open file dialog by hitting -g and then entering the path. (We need a better solution for that and the default templates folder.) BH

Just getting started
I installed LyX a couple months ago, and have experimented with it superficially without reading any of the documentation. I've just upgraded to 2.0 and want to get started actually using it, initially just for simple documents, which i imagine will be mostly composed using other applications -- Vim and Scrivener. Later I'll take more ambitious projects -- longer memos, reports, proposals, articles -- that again may be wholly or partially composed using other applications. At the moment I'm working my way through the tutorial, and glad that I am. Some fundamental differences, that I hadn't suspected, regarding the way white space is managed, for example. The tutorial mentions a document, example_raw.lyx, to which I am to make corrections as I progress through the tutorial, but it doesn't say where it is and I can't find it. Where is example_raw.lyx?
