Some months ago I posted the way I use BibTeX with LyX. It involved doing
a lot of things from the bash command line.  I was told that there was no
need for that, and was given instructions for doing it from LyX.

OK now I am following these instructions.  The first was to set the
BIBINPUTS variable to the value I use. This is done; everytime I log in my
BIBINPUTS is set correctly to /home/wsimpson/papers/bib.  This directory
contains vision.bib and stats.bib.

In my document I am using the Natbib package and so my preamble is:
\usepackage{natbib}
\bibliographystyle{apa}

I created my own apa.bst and put it in /home/wsimpson/papers/bib
(The "standard" apa style is not correct)

I put each citation in the text TeXed, e.g.
\cite[]{Simpson:1994}

At the end of the paper I inserted via
Insert->Lists & TOC ->BibTex Reference
and put in the box Database: vision,stats
                   Style: apa
Well when I do view dvi
- each ref is (?) in the text. e.g. NOT Simpson(1994).
- No Reference list appears at the end.

So do I have to use my laborious bash method after all? Please tell me how
to get this LyX method to work.

Thanks very much for any help.

Bill Simpson
