However, I cannot find a mechanism that permits me to go directly to
a specific page. Is this possible?
Rich,

I am not sure, but I think that if you type 40g, then you go to the page 
40 of the document, assuming that you are using xdvi. Now, I am using 
kdvi, with which it is only necessary to click on the desired page 
number in the list of pages, which is visible.

I hope this helps you!

In xdvi, you enter the number of page you want, and then press 'g'.

nirmal,

  I'm using whatever was installed with tetex. I wasn't aware that there are
options available. What's involved in making a different previewer the
default? I don't recall reading anything about this in the LyX docs.

  Sonofagun! That's perfect. For whatever the reason, I wasn't aware that
the display was xdvi (didn't think about it at all) so I didn't read the man
page. There are a lot of goodies there.

Changing the viewer can be done in the 'Format' dialog.  However,
xdvi is just fine, and typing 57g there will take you to page 57.
The command 'g' is explained at line ~650 of the xdvi man page.
