Very happy to hear things are set for you. I did not get a copy from
lyx-devel, so I fear their new spam filter may be over zealous or maybe
the list is just asleep for the weekend. I've also appended your
question at the bottom because I don't know the answer. But, in 1.2CVS
the ERT stuff reduces to pretty inoccuous insets.
Just how you make that happen with a converter script, I don't know.
Thanks for testing.

---------------------------
In a conversion script, can I put those parameter changes like:
\latex latex
\backslash
setlength{
\backslash
dialogindent}{1in}
\layout General
things, which stick out in the document as they are now, into
the .lyx file somehow so they don't show up in the document.
