With regard to multiple frames, I tried on my Linux box last night and was able to open several instances of LyX with a different document in each and switch between them with no trouble at all. I didn't try it, but I would suggest that the X clipboard functions might well be available for transferring text between instances as well. The usage is quite the same as that of multiple frames in Emacs. The only thing you need to note is that on opening each instance of LyX, it appears in the center of the window and will overlay the other instance previously opened such that it appears you have only one opened. But if you move one or the other away from the center of the window, voila'!... there's the previous instance underneath, all ready to be used, moved to where you want it, or size-adjusted so you can see more of what you're doing. Hope this helps. Thierry Michalowski wrote: > On Wed, 20 Jan 1999, myriam wrote: > > > > > I have 2 general questions related to that. > > > > I've heard of KDE and Klyx.
