Scott, I did see it and thank you for responding.
I do still want to review the other documentation however the amount of time I thought I would have evaporated when I returned to work. Also while I know what git is, I don't know how to use it ... yet. I need to install it and get the LyX files. I found the "How to Use Git" page on the Lyx.org website and will start there. It has some instructions on pulling the repository down. I assume that would have the current versions.
